[at-l] Fw: Thru hiker Survivor Fire

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

I understood that.  I was saying that even if you don't know how to start one 
from scratch, it's pretty easy to make sure that you can start one (assuming 
you're not on top of Mt. Washington amongst the boulders, in which case 
neither skill nor matches do you any good) if you need one and everybody 
should consider that as a basic, smart move when in the woods or elsewhere in 
the hinterlands.
