Here's my advice if you're carrying a survival book with you out into the wilderness. Buy a cheap one with newsprint paper on the pages. Those expensive ones with glossy pages don't light as easily. It may serve you well if you need to get a fire started and the less money you've spent on it, the better you'll feel about watching it go up in smoke.
They're also good for wiping when out in the woods, gotta have some tp no matter where you are :D
I carry a pocket Bible. When St Peter asks me "What are you doing here?" I can pull it out of my pack and tell him "I am looking for a quiet place to read". If he leaves me along long enough, I might be able to sneak back before he knows I am gone!
Sometime a or the good book makes a great ending to a long day. If you learn a new trick or technique you can use, all the better. (For TP just look for leaves of 3. JOKE)
By the way, the thin paper in a pocket Bible wads up nice and burns hot.
Don
Okay.....Don. I'll be stepping away very slowly. Don't want that lightening hitting around me.
And for the Big Guy... I don't burn any part of your book. No, sir. Don't need to get warm that bad. Don't want to stay warm for eternity by doing it. We don't even talk about the TP portion. Nope. Not me. Them over there (Pointing at Don).
DON DON DON ( head shaking ) :o:eek::(
Burning the Good Book? Are you nuts, that's survival in a place I don't wanna try it in, and the odds ar stacked against you to fail at it for eterinity.
:eek: Oh no Don not THAT book,I'd cut my hair off and use it to start a fire,but not THE book:eek:
Conversation:
St. Peter: what are you doing here? you're early
survivaldude: I froze to death and I really resent it, because in my prayers I was led to believe that the Big Guy was always going to take care of me...
St. Peter: Wait here, I'll talk to the Boss and review your situation
Returning, St Peter: Boss wants to know why you didn't go ahead and use that book he left you to start a fire, there's about a billion more copies available. He mentioned something about "helping those who help themselves"
By the way you wanna go someplace to warm up?
Think I'm with Don on this one, people....
I agree with trax, The bible is no different from other books in production or in the way that a company will get money from selling them. I think that if god loves us all and is as forgiveing as the bible itself says he is then he wont mind you burning pieces of paper
Not a great firestarter, but I carry the multi-service SERE laminated flipbook in my pack. It's a Cliff's Notes compilation of Army, Navy, AF & Marine manuals.
see? It's the laminated pages. Newsprint, go cheap...
ive done that...not intentionally because i dig my hair, and when you burn it it dosnt take to the flame very long...Quote:

Dear Lord, I hope you are not one to turn people into salt by association (or dung or into a hemorrhoid or haggis or anything else that's really really gross). I promise I'll keep my distance from these heathen and find a nice water proof case for your book......oh, amen.
How did i know you would mention haggis twinkie boy ?Quote:

Thank you Trax! I am of the same feeling.
RobertRogers : Go directly to your room. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Smoking when out is the fastest way to chase game away. They can smell it and leave the area. When you change your ways you can come back out and play nice!

Firstest. Amended to so read: Indifels (or I can leave a blank and you can insert your own disparaging term).
Secondest: RR is probably going to see any animal he wants with what he's smokin'. No offense there RR. Dandelion leaves will do that to you.
I don't care how cold it is there is always something that will burn in nature you just have to look for it. And Tony when typing God the "G" is supposed to captialized, and the Bible is different from other books in that it is God's word not just some book. But you were right Rick was going to go for the Haggis line saw that coming.

I thought God forgave people, must be my mistake, guess that makes me an indifel or even an infidel.
I'm not saying I wouldn't burn it, between death and burning the Good Book I choose to burn it. I also agree I don't take it trekking either, but Trax, bro, you know there are always things to burn out in the forested areas no matter what the weather, I didn't say it would be easy, I said there are things out there to burn. You are no infidel your the President of Traxistan so you get to decide who the infidels are, a perk to being the boss man:D
No,you are no infidel,and a matter of life and death,well,you gotta do what you gotta do,and yes you are right He does forgive.
