They all pretty much work the same and you need to get the stroke and kindling right. I keep mine with my trailer keys in my SUV all the time. You never know. lol
I love being in the woods. For all intent and purposes I kinda live in the woods. I'm lucky that I am close to the Blue Ridge and many other wonderful spots. I had a guy come help me on the farm one summer/fall who had a truck, a dog and an old army wall tent. He wanted to camp down by the creek. He lived in his tent and truck. He was very self sufficient too. he even had a little wood stove for his tent. I wanted him to stay but he said he enjoyed moving about. He said he has camped in below zero. I love camping but couldnt imagine that,
