So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I took a cedar fence board and plained it into curly strips for tinder. Took another 4 and split them into thin sticks. Put 1/4 of the tinder into each vacuum bag and sealed them. Even if a board should break the seal, everything stays put and dry! :)
Have you thought about vacuum sealing some steel wool/dryer lint and adding a 9V battery in an old camera film canister? Press the steel wool onto both terminals on the battery, will light it. Dryer lint will catch easy as well.
Bobby's onto something...fire starting...Another thingIf you know where an old dead pine tree is, take a hatchet and hack into the baseSmell the chunk you hacked outSmells like turpentine, right?Well that's because that's what it ispine wood is saturated with it, in the stumps of trees.While wondering aimlessly around the forests around Ft. Bragg. I'd use that stuff for the next fireCarry in a plastic bag or it will irritate your skin...especially around your private junk...ya, don't ask the Warrant Officer how he knows that...

The grease/oil on them burns. A can of crisco with a wick (strips of t-shirt or sting) will burn for approximately 30 days. A crayon, if you strip the paper off, will burn for approximately 30 mins.Now we MUST hear the story of the wandering Warrant officer...on the ground...at Ft.Bragg.
Actually out at Mackall, camp little muddy...You know what goes on there, right???
