Batoning large pieces of wood is not necessary...

Very true. i live in southern ontairio and have been going into 2 feet of snow every weekend. Every time a got out untill just last weekend i lugged saws, axes and machetes with me and found that the only thing i used to start my fire was my bravo 1. and all i used it for was striking my fire steel and roughing up some birch bark. When you get out their it seems like everythings soaked but when you start looking aroung you find that the easyest stuff to collect is often dry enough to start a fire or even the dryest stuff out their

Maybe this has been covered on another thread? But has anyone made a fire with a magnifying glass? I know it can't be depended on at night, or if there's cloud cover or a heavy forest canopy but It does work, even on wet stuff.

When this debate comes up, I always revert back to Heinlein: A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Ok, I simply don't read all the posts on this crazy forum so things like this need to be explained for the less informed among us :D
