that was part of it. the other part of it was that I'm not a pilot and am
not sure what the contents of pilots gear is. I can assume that most chart
cases are hardboard covered in vinyl making for some watertight tinder cases
(you shave bits of the hardboard with a piece of wreckage or a sharp stone)
shaving the stuff to the consistency of cotton candy gets you tinder that is
very hard not to get to light, even in damp conditions.
