NG Traveler: How to build a fire

This is from National Geographic's Adventure magazine that I'm currently getting for free. Just in case anyone gets selected for the "Survivor" show and doesn't win the first prize or more likely if you're camping and want to try this skill (without matches or a lighter) or if you get stuck somewhere and need to create fire.

I didn't know about the Vaseline cotton balls or the "fire pistons"...

The fire pistons sound neat.

50 Tours of a Lifetime

Another magazine I've been getting sent to me free (disclaimer) is "Traveler" as part of the National Geographic organization. In a recent issue, they have "50 Tours of a Lifetime" which is divided up into Active, Cultural, and Classic types.

Ahh, to have excess resources (read Money, Time, older kids)....

They also have tours from 2006, 2007, and 2008 linked there as well.

If you're reading this post, which one would you go on and why?
