Eagle Scout Review Boards hate this one weird trick to start fires with wet wood covered in snow!
Fun for all ages, but less prosecutable as a minor!
1. Save every scrap of styrofoam that you ever see.
2. Buy a regulated container for gasoline (steal or $25)
3. Buy a big butt glass jar with a crew top lid. Idk pickles or something? Rinse it out well and let it air dry (steal or $4)
4. Buy some gasoline ($3-4 per gallon)
5. Pour a little bit of gasoline into the jar.
6. Shmoosh some styrofoam into it and let it melt. It will look gooey, maybe pinkish?
7. Get a feel for how much gasoline you have to add for how much more styrofoam you think you need to add.
8. Shut the lid tight.
9. Don't tell anyone else what you just did.
10. Bring this magical jar with you to every scout camp you ever go to but don't use it unless it rains or snows.
11. See (10). Get the wet wood and schmear your magic goo on the underside. Light it on fire AND STAND BACK! That smoke is toxic, what the frick were you thinking?
12. The wood catches of fire and you saved the day.

This is the kind of shit we'd actually do in Boy Scouts and it's the reason girls dropped out of the Girl Scouts left and right; they never got to do ANY fun stuff.

Our favorite activity was to get a giant pile of dried leaves and to dump a giant armful on top of the fire and watch as it made a huge fireball for a couple seconds.

We'd do that and then peer pressure the younger kids to jump over it just before it flared up.
