But there was a lot of GOOD stuff in there, too.
There was a chapter on how to identify poison ivy,
which would’ve come in handy yesterday. There were
chapters on OTHER outdoorsy things, like how
to start a fire without matches, which was great,
because Mr. Jefferson used all of ours up.
I couldn’t wait to try out some of the tricks and
see if they actually WORKED. I led my group
out to our campsite and asked to borrow Emilio’s
glasses, and I focused a beam of sunlight through
a lens onto a dry leaf, the way it said to do in
the book. Sure enough, the leaf started smoking,
and eventually caught fire.
