Canvas giclee available When it rains or snows hard in the high mountains it can be almost impossible to get a good fire going. Ugly weather demands a decent fire. This has happened so many times to me that I asked a couple of friends to pose in order to demonstrate the degree of frustration involved.

Notice Rolly in the red wool underwear. If you wear wool next to your skin you can beat hypothermia. Another tip. Carry an aluminum beer can (empty of course) and a little gasoline. Cut the top of the can open, pour in the gas and stuff in a wick of paper or cloth. Position this under the wettest wood and light the wick. The heat is so concentrated that you've got a hot fire started under the worst conditions.

Since I learned that trick there's no more need to do another type of wet wood painting.
