Yeah, somehow I don't think the writer ever starts fires much himself. It's a forgivable lapse, since everyone knows what he was talking about anyway. I will probably keep my magnesium bar for the rest of my life since I haven't really gone deep woods camping for a decade now. Looking at this sort of made me miss those days when I used to go minimilist backbacking as a teen. Maybe I'll get back to it once my kids are old enough to think it is exciting and big enough to carry their own stuff.

So, you know, ten or eleven years from now...
