I took it from another standpoint. As Mike from lifeview mentioned, this is a beginner video.. I think it proved that, though Gretchen is the resident expert, she was having a difficult time starting a fire with sparks. I think it magnifies the importance of trying out your firestarters and making sure you know how it works and what to expect.. There is no magic pill! I think somewhere in there, she mentioned that the lighter could run out of fluid or something. I think she also mentioned the importance of carrying your own tinder, cause the real stuff can be hard to light with a spark.

As it goes, I think the video has it's place, and it has made my wife more aware. Tools are great, but "It's too late to learn to swim when you start to drown.." <- Something I live by.. Anyone remember who sang that? It was a song a couple of years back..
