here's the stupid part about this... who the hell carries a Brillo pad with them.

seriously i don't even have one of those in my house, much less when I'm near the wilderness.

not to mention with phones these days getting better reception that ever, and having GPS... might be a good idea to keep the battery in your stinkin phone.

@spider2544: I agree. The only people I know with Brillo Pads are crackheads and they usually don't camp; they hide in the basement stairwell and I'm sure they have extra lighters handy.

This is why in all of my wallets I carry at least one of those magnifiers that Target hands out w/their prescriptions. I can start a fire the way God intended. W/a Frensel lens.
