Fire rocks occured after Mount St. Helens blew. Due to all the ask that covered the entire area, the ash has seaped into the ground and become imbedded in the local rocks. One of the primary components of ash is sulfur. If you pick the right rocks, the ones with the shiny appearance (substance) on them, you can take a match to them and they will light on fire. Hence you have what we call fire rocks!!! Sounds pretty believable right? The shiny substance on the rocks is the fire paste or fire gel you put on the rocks before the kids or your buddies showed up. The whole story sounds believable and you can even challenge them to find some. They might bring you the exact same rock...just keep telling them to keep looking and they will find one :)

Here are some safety tips for the outdoors. When in open water, you don't need to swim faster than a shark, just stab your buddy and swim faster than him. You don't have to be faster than the bear chasing you, just faster than your buddy the bear is also chasing.

Jamin, where are you at. I am right outside of Spokane. Do you know how to find pitch wood? A great natural tinder in any season.
