right. so i spent the last 2 weeks as a counselor at a ‘camp’ for german mennonite teens. we were at a guesthouse on a lake in bavaria, went swimming, hiking and that other camp stuff.
i ended up being responsible for the fires that needed to be made and organized the wood gathering and whatnot. we had 2 big fires, both of which, i’m proud to say, were started without paper.
even more of a boost to my ego is that the second fire was a one match wonder. that’s right boys. i learned them germans how we hairy americans make fires. umm…….yep. that’s it. we didn’t ‘camp out’, but we had a one match fire. that’s my ‘camping story’, since you guys all got to rough it in a cabin with the women folk.
