[pct-l] Fires

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

In other words, it's usually fine to build a fire if there is no fuel for miles.
That's why you carried all that dry wood with you for weeks.

And it's usually fine if there is a soaking rain and a wind making
you hypothermic - but good luck trying to start a fire with soaked wood.

But if you're hypothermic due to light showers after a long dry spell
with a brisk cold wind - you better have a plan B.   Even stoves are
tricky in high wind around tall dry grass and brush.    There certainly
are plenty of stories about mishaps with alcohol stoves, particularly.
