 Re: I'm a "top down fire" convert!
Boy scouts. And girl scouts, too - they teach you how to light a fire.
Switzerland has this strong hiking and fire lighting culture going, and children do learn how to safely light a fire, contain it in a ring of stones, and put it out when they've finished with it, in such a way that it can be reused later.
Still, they don't use the top down method. Maybe that's why I can't get the hang of it, having been taught to do it differently when I was young (er...) |
