The Guy managed to light a fire in the woods! At a camp ground. Using a match, or maybe three. And white gas, plenty of that. But: he still has as much hair as he did when he started. No singed eyebrows, no arm-hair ash, no hospital trips or burns. Not even a splinter from the match! Little Turtle was very impressed (from a very safe distance).

(The Girl tried and failed to get the stove started, and The Guy remained way better at it than she was for the entirety of the camping trip. She knows she just doesn’t have the patience for it!)

At Three Creeks Lake, Sisters, Oregon.
