Darn it, Doug. It ain't fair! I caught you dead to rights. You shouldn't be tryin' to wriggle out on me!

More precisely, if you are not carrying the basics, including a fire starter on your person, you will not have it available when you take one of those inevitable spur-of-the-moment sidetrips that we all take, and Mr. Murphy strikes. Do you know what a BSA Hot Spark weighs? Well, it's negligible. And I strongly recommend that you attach it to your other EDC.

John
