Red Moon
Smoke from the 2145 hectare Mount Underwood fire SW of Nanaimo
Hopefully the Thursday rain and Friday downpour will help
There is ash floating through the sky right now

Collected and prepped fuel for my GHS* while I was out. I know I'm Very Bad at finding firewood when I'm hungry and eager to light a fire, so I prefer to keep stock. This will probably last me for two meals, and it'll be interesting to see what impact the lichen will have. The best fuel though, is pine cones dipped in candle wax - will get you flames tall enough to satisfy the pickiest pyromaniac.
(*Glorified Hobo Stove - got it from a shop and everything.)
Trying out a new field kitchen, using pinecones for firewood, and using a pinecone "dripped" with candle wax as a firestarter - all in the same go.
Result: Woohoooo! That's a _flame*_!
*sudden realisation*
I forgot to bring out water.
Experiments will continue. I swear I'm not a pyromaniac.
(*It's max height was 20+cm - which is quite good for one small pinecone.)
