Nice weather and no real plans today so I opted to grab a couple pistols and head to the woods. My 9year old son agreed to go too instead of staying home and helping Mom clean house. Well the shooting went well and the kid did pretty good with the Ruger Single Six. Not a crack shot but if a Shoot N See prairie dog pops up, he'll get a hit 
Anyway after the shooting he asked if we could stop and check out the Molalla River so we did. Threw some rocks and sticks and then I got the "What now?" Well let's practice fire. Took three attempts as I had tried to shortchange the prep work. On try #3 I did what I was supposed to and got my tinder and shavings in greater ammounts and by then the kid had snatched up plenty of small sticks for the actual fire. Using just the metal match and wood shavings we had fire! Just a fun day doing nothing more than having some good time together
