Making Fire
Here's some pictures from a camping trip we went on with me making
fire. Instead of using an easy method of starting a fire such as a
lighter, I thought I'd practice with a magnesium stick. Didn't happen
on the first try but these images show the steps I took.

It's always smart to practice making fire whenever you can using
your survival gear. By practicing, you'll have an easier time getting
yourself warm when you really need it. Practice while camping or
even in your backyard. Father-son time: Teach your kid a valuable
lesson. The more you practice, the better you'll get. The best
way to learn something is to teach it.
