Here's a little tip people might not know about.
For starting your campfires, one of the best things to do (besides dousing it in gas or lighter fluid!) is to save the lint from your dryer screen. Put a small wad of lint in the center and build your kindling up around it. never fails, the stuff burns great.
Happy Trails to you!

Good tip! We used to do that same thing, but one step further...

Take that lint, and stuff it into the cells of a paper egg carton. Cut out the cells, and dip the stuffed cells into melted parafin wax.

Let them dry, and you've got waterproof fire starters (I still stored them in a Ziploc freezer bag though) Even if you managed to fall into a river, or a nasty storm sneaks up on you, you'll still be able to have something to start your fire with.

Kinda off topic.

But does anyone here like BBQed sweetbreads.

[Young&Fast]

That was a joke. Read your wikipedia link and see where Im from. Every weekend on ever corner theres someone selling barbqued tri-tip in Santa Maria.

You've never had tri-tip until you've had tri-tip in Santa Maria. Kinda makes me want to walk there right now.
