Day One: The Flame Thrower!

So finally made it to my campsite, left good and early, took it easy on the accelerator and got here in good time, but only 90 minutes of day light and priority one is shelter. So up with the tent .... in no time at all suprisingly for someone that hasn't camped in such a long time, so after the tent up and making like the preverbiable "Bear in the wood", there's only one thing left to do to cement my camping credentials..... yup.... gotta cook something, then I know I am master of all I survey... so out with both camping stoves an arsenal of pots and pans and then I notice..... forgot the matches..... but he, one stove is self lighting, light one and use it to light the other... dead easy. so carfully I start to bring the second stove closer to the already lit first stove...... WHOOOOSHH!!!! it only has two settings.....off and flamming Armageddon..... I'm flayling around thrashing this way and tyhe next way.... the flames are shootiing everywhere... I keep thinking.... OMG it's going to explode....then a tiny voice speaks to "Smother it".... so I slam it into the ground... not a good idea with a gas cannister that your holding..... for obvious reasons...... then a second of clarity..... it has a knob on the side.(It has one holding it too)... I turn the knob and whooom.... crisis overted.....
