My pleasure. When you made a statement that turned out to be false, and then got called out on it, you damaged your own credibility.thanks for the screenshot.
Don't be dismissive with a feeble attempt to put words in my mouth.You’re right. You have confirmed that no one can start a fire in bad weather. Terrible idea to practice backup skills.
It is not fitting nor appropriate; if you can't discuss the facts of your position on their own merit... well then, that speaks for itself.
I don't take orders from you.Carry on.
Feel free to depart this discussion on your own volition.
Hi Matt, thanks for the well thought out and explained reply - I appreciate it.Andy, I have film pictures somewhere, of me teaching battery/steel wool to a scout and his family in the rain and it works. If you know what to do. It is all in the prep and understanding the fire triangle. You have to remember that the battery/steel wool is just the ignition source. You still need to prep for a fire with adequate amounts of tinder, kindling and fuel.
Serious question: Who do you know who carries a battery/steel wool as a primary, secondary, or tertiary method of starting a fire?
Thank you for the compliment.No shit. again it's not the only way. You sure have a hard on for the way fires can be started.
Yes, I have a lot of enthusiasm trying to keep people from getting duped by gimmicky fire starting methods that fail under conditions when they are really needed.
