I remember back in the scouts, when I was a Jr leader, telling the new guys to "go get wood". 1/2 hour later, I'd find them playing grab a** and I'd ask, "where is the wood" - I'd almost always get one of 2 answers - I could not find any, or "there" with a finger point to a tiny pile of sticks. I would then lead them into the woods, and start gathering kindling and tinder. They always wanted to know why I wanted so much wood. I always told them that it takes more wood than you think
