Absolutely! Practice makes perfect!
I expect I'll bring, fire, and boil with both.

Last year I hiked the lakeshore trail in the smokies.  A low altitude,
overgrown, seldom traveled trail.   I've never kissed so many spiders
in my life.  every 100 yards I was walking into one.  These were
little black and yellow/red ugly looking ones.   And they would make
webs across the trail each night!   I can empathize with the crawly
feeling on the back of the neck!!!    I did start waving my hiking
stick in front of me with each step.  That gets real old tho.
