By EUCENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Sugar supplies nothing in nu trition except calories. The flintlock rifle and the tin der box were the two most im portant things our pioneer an cestors carried and of the two perhaps the tinder box with its flint, steel and piece of scorched cloth and tinder was the more important. Today most woodsmen carry matches in waterproof cases but even so, explorers and hunt ers who are going to difficult places for prolonged trips away from civilization still carry the old-fashioned flint and steel. The modern camper would be well-advised to practice building a fire with these primitive tools. Besides, it's knowledge which will raise him a cut above the ordinary outdoorsman. Using much the same methods as the pioneers of old did the modern camper can carry a small piece of flint or any rock that is harder than steel. With it, a lightweight fold file, and a charred cloth. This can be made by setting a piece of linen or outing flannel in an old coffe can with an air-tight lid and setting it on fire. As soon as it blazes brightly, douse the flame by putting on the close-fitting lid. Then, when the lid is re moved, the fire will have gone out and the black flakes of dry cloth will be ready to catch and hold a spark whenever needed. But keep it bone dry. To make the fire, you might practice in your back yard. Find a location which is not windy and away from inflammables. Place on the ground a generous handful of dry tinder dry cedar bark which has been pounded into a pulp and then threaded apart with the fingers, birch bark, fine grass tops, the down from milkweed or cattails, the fluffy tops of dead asters or gol denrod, or as the pioneers did, bits of dry cotton. All these are good. On top of this place the charred cloth. Place one end of the file on the tinder. Angle the file so that when a glancing blow is struck by the flint, the sparks will fly downward atop the scorched cloth. With practice, one blow is often enough to catch the spark. As soon as the cloth is smol dering, cup the tinder around it and pick it up with one hand and blow the whole mass into flame. When it flames, drop it into a heap of small kindling made of dead and dry cotton wood, willow, alder, poplar, syc amore, balsam, other evergreens or soft maple. Atop this pile firewood larg er pieces of oak, maple, hickory, gum, burch, elm, ash mesquite whatever happens to be handy. All these hold fire well.
