    Your video was well done and the editing was good. It was very cool to see you use some of those skills like pitching the tent or lighting a fire. Your refection at the end of the video was good (sounded almost like the end off a ted talk).

Emmie Says Goodbye! (Blog #5)

I can't believe this project is over! I put so much into providing content for all of you to see and hopefully learn from that I never considered what I would do after.

I made them in preparation for the overnight. They're fantastic fire starters for planned trips. They're Lightweight, making them perfect for backpacking Cheap And easy! The only negative I can think of is the mess after you make them. Your fingers get pretty gross. 🔥   Now for the mandatory fire safety tips! 🔥 He's right! In my vlog, I have a clip of me building a fire in a stone fire ring. That was not allowed. It was dangerous and, upon reading the park rules, I realized shouldn't have done that. The stone ring was not made by the park. It was made by some reckless person befo...
