Man! Theres just something about a fire and sitting outside at night...the BASIC needs of Man....all the Human senses are stimulated, audio, visual, sensory, instinctual, awareness......perfect relaxation, a sense of well being, mystery about building a fire and being outdoors in the nighttime...Takes 20yrs off a guys life...Some grown ups have NEVER built a fire...
I had to teach some guys once, guys MY age! Doing a weekend wilderness survival thingy for some Banker types after the crash in 08.......It was pretty tragic to realize they had never made a fire and didnt even know where to start...and then trying to teach them how to make a shelter and a deadfall etc? Told the Wife after that weekend...toughest money I even made...
This Forum is like a campfire of sorts? For us to come and gather of an evening and share stories of the Hunt...Good post there Chris!!
