[at-l] Fw: Thru hiker Survivor Fire

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

Ron's right.

The first thing that goes in my pocket (after water) before a hike of any 
length anywhere is a lighter and/or matches (they weigh almost nothing and 
beat rubbing your palms raw, which I would, if I tried to do the old friction 
thing).  No matter where you hike, if you fall and break something and can't 
move, a fire can be an awfully important thing for either warmth or as a 
signal or both.
