" Oh My God this is beautiful. This is why people climb. It is like this. Unbelievable. I'm just gonna walk around and enjoy the site and get my sweat to dry off. It's beautiful up here. Becoming hypothermic on the top of a mountain would make for a miserable night. I have a feeling it's gonna be chilly up here tonight. Ah yeah. That worked like a charm. 3 to 4 hours later and my little fire cigar here worked out perfect, an Apache cigar. I've got some firewood with a lot of pitch in it, so it's burning beautifully, holding the flame a long time, and I've got this moss stuff here. All is just regular green moss that I gathered at another location; I brought it, and I'm gonna get it just, getting an amber on. That moss is incredible how long it will hold that glow, and I like to get a piece of that going, set it off to the side safely, and it will just glow all night long if it's big enough piece, and then if the fire dies in the morning, I'll just use the moss to start up a new fire. It worked really well. It works as a, basically like a fire carrier. Sierra Nevada, pretty intense and beautiful place."
