Since my childhood, the story To Build a Fire by Jack London, has stuck with me.  And to that end, I have decided to try build some fires using some different methods and means.  To create a control, each time I'll start the process with a 12" 2x4 split apart and a 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.

Today I have a go with the Coghlan's Waterproof Matches.  I'll be honest, I really didn't think they would hold up to the water.  Color me impressed...
