Had a nice ice-storm this weekend. Every twig and blade of grass covered in ice. Figured it would be a good time to try and start a fire.

Bottom line: No dry tinder, had to split tiny pine twigs to get kindling. Firestarter required. Very difficult.

My definitions:
If you can stack it, it is kindling
If you pile it, it is tinder
If you brought it, it is firestarter
