I keep an old prescription pill bottle filled with vaseline covered cotton balls in each of my bug out bags. They light easily and one will burn for a good 20 mins even in the rain. Cheap and easy firestarter.
Today (yesterday actually, July 4th) was a free fishing day. Did anyone get out? My neighbor was planning to take me out in the morning and show me the ropes, but he was up late hanging out with friends and overslept. DOH!
Ooh thanks for this thread, I need to learn all this stuff. I've been hunting for many years but never got into fishing despite the desire. I've evwn bought a license and trout stamps multiple times without ever using them. It's high time I figure out what's what.
@Sp_guns I'm curious how you found this forum and decided to join? We're happy to have a lively and fun loving, gun loving contributor, but someone living so far away is rare.
