I didn't go camping or fishing or hunting or learn how to start fires without gasoline when I was growing up. But I am trying to do better for my children. Mine are too young to start fires yet, but this weekend provided a teachable moment regarding fire. My oldest (almost 5) was concerned about the fire when I was lighting tiki torches..."Oh no Dad, fire!" I explained that if we respect fire, and are careful with it that fire can be a really good thing. She's listens to a song that teaches about not playing with fire, so I'm trying to teach her not to play with it, but that fire, used properly is good. Once I buy a tent and some gear, we'll go camping too. That way, we can learn together <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
