okay so I'm looking to collect some fire starting material and I don't have to look to do any special wood preparations when I've got stuff like this around all this little fine seed head stuff right there this is just thin as paper it's a little stuff like that so I get me handful of this and this will ignite very quickly all right so I've got I got a lot of this P equals plenty so formula now what I want to do is I want to fold over all that seed head stuff so it's all in one spot here now take my lighter and it starts to go then I'm just going to kind of feather that but going to feather that my camera the other way it's a little bit on the smoky side I'm going to lay those that way lay those that way so there we go I got me a fire very quickly I'll add me some more wood I'll be ready to cook breakfast it's beautiful country up here though I got to say that look at these walls one hundred and hundreds of feet high I think we're sand feet the top up there forever flowing down through here [Music]
