Gene,

I hope you get paid for this! Anyway it sounds like you are having a good time at it.

I've got one word for you REDUNDANT! As in always carry more than one way to make a fire. I normally have three ways at least: Yellow Bic Lighter, Waterproof matches in waterproof container, Magnesium Avation Firestarter w/ match container packed with cottonballs treated with vaseline. The last system is actually tied into my pack and is the one I most often use.

The Florida wilderness is nasty stuff, its real easy to get lost in it. I spent some time at Pensacola. Mac
