Go with what works... But try new things too!

Ran out of fire starter sticks and they didn't have any at the last 3 Fred Meyer's I stopped at, so I tried this Fire Starter Paste. 

Works great. Like a thick gel. Squirt a little wherever you want a fire. Light it and presto.... Instant flame. 

Second item.... Had a problem paying $22 for a lightweight 3 legged stool at REI....

One of the best purchases I ever made under $30....

This version is better than the cheaper Walmart version because it has a strap and loops that binds tue 3 feet together to make it stronger. 

2 Products I will never be outdoors without again.
