PerryMK member Registered: 01/18/02 Posts: 1393 Loc: Florida panhandle	Originally Posted By aimless ...incapable of starting a fire with anything but bone-dry wood vs. a highly skilled hiker who can coax a fire out of a pile of wet rocks (caution: hyperbole at work ). A Bic lighter makes up for a lot of magnifying-glass-and-stick-rubbing skill.
