FIRE!!

Few things excite young men more than starting a fire.  Keep them away from the gas and lighter, by showing them how to start a fire the primitive way.  Scouts can't resist a challenge, and they love making a fire.

Here is a website selling various primitive fire starting methods, including the fire piston.  Each one of these methods can be achieved with material found in Arizona, either at Home Depot or in the woods/desert.

Google search on making fire pistons.
Google search on bow fires.

Email me if you have questions or want some advice on doing it.  We all saw at the wilderness challenge that they mastered the flint and steel. 

If you would like to buy a flint and steel set, feel free to send me an email.  I bought some in bulk to get good pricing and save on shipping.

AWESOME!

The Wilderness Challenge was great!  Thanks to all the dedicated leaders that brought their teams and staffed the events.  Over 300 scouters participated and staffed the event. 

Pictures are here.  Please send your best pictures to me.
