Thread: Not a good week

Glad it has a happy ending mate bring on the ducks

My wedding ring is in the safe.

Fair call though, the point I was trying to make (poorly) is matches are no good. I do carry a small bic lighter, but even lighters have failed when wet.

Learning to make fire with a spark is pretty fundamental survival skill.

And a relatively easy one these days with the sort of gear you can purchase

My grand father had one. He kept it well honed and used it a lot. I could never get the hang of it.

6MMBR, glad you are ok...that was a serious fall.

If you are in tree fern country, you can always find dry leaves up under all the dead fronds hanging against the trunk. Ihave always taken a couple of pages of newspaper folded up in a plastic bag.

What you talking about 6MMBR. You just need to know how to scrunch it up. All we had in the dunny in the first years of my life was news paper and magazine pagess hanging on a number eight wire hook in the long drop.
