So I just found out that The Piton, a blog run by a bunch of outdoor industry people, has just posted its last. Given my experiences working in the industry and knowing how unbelievably uncommunicative it is, I’m pretty disappointed that I just found out about it when it closes its proverbial doors.

That said, they’re not taking it down, just choosing to not post new content. Among the sundry things I’ve found on it, there’s a link to a cool little site dedicated to wilderness survival skills called Tracker Trail. The specific item they linked to was an article detailing how to start a fire using nothing but a Coke can and a chocolate bar. Pretty interesting reading.
