You saved the fire though the wood was green with a little know how…

I miss the lake and camping out but nearing the 80"s now, it's just not worth the hassle even if I could do it. Have a good weekend Tom, Bill

how did you get the fire started with green wood. :) something I learned from by husband... I miss those camp outs with the roar of the large camp fires

Takes longer but if you shred with a knife thin enough, it will still burn. In the poem, already had fire blazing, added a few limbs that were still green, and it makes the fire shoot sparks. You were though right, lol. I miss the camping trips now that I'm nearing 80's. Thanks for the comment, Eve. Have a great day! Bill
