Winter brings my favorite aroma drifting through the evening air. The smell of burning wood. There is something basic and untamed that ignites inside when sparks fly away from the ashes.
Building a fire is something every man should try at least once. It brings a real sense of power and satisfaction. If I get stranded in the woods or terrorists take out the electrical grid, I know I can provide warmth, protection and light for me and my family. Just make sure I have my trusty bic lighter. Rubbing sticks together? Bah! Never leave home without a lighter near!
Have I ever made a fire with what the forest provides only? No. Could I? If Tom Hanks can, I think there is hope for us all.
