Thanks for the responses. He does have some stormproof matches and a flint and steel in his pack as well. I have even given him some "wetfire". We have worked on fire starting but as you mentioned it takes a lot of repetition to get through to the boys some times. I will work with him on his fire starting skills. As a den leader I worked extensively with my Webelos on fire starting. Hopefully he will never be it that situation but as always he should be prepared.
