How Many Girls Does It Take...
...to build a fire? Some friends decided to have a girls campout in the backyard last weekend. I skipped the camping part, but the tin foil dinners, s'mores, and fire were great. Getting the fire going was pretty funny. I said from the start that I had no idea how to build a fire, but everyone else tried everything from hairspray to tiki torch fluid to try to get the fire going. We finally resorted to a duralog and had a great fire the rest of the night. I vetoed the tent when my bed was 2 blocks away, but the other non camping parts of the campout were great. Having the kitchen sink and bathroom so close to the campout sure was nice.

It seems as though we should have done some camping activities when you were younger. Next time, build a small fire before tackling the big one. Wood shavings are great but Duralogs are the next best thing! Maybe not in keeping with true camping but it does get the job done.
