     There are many camping skills that you may already know.  Some skill are more useful than others.  After reading this article I learned 3 very important camping skills that will be very useful when I go camping.  The first essential skill is knowing how to fly fish.  Fly fishing is very important because it is a great way to acquire food very quickly.  It may take a while for you to learn how to master this skill but once you know how to fly fish, it will help you out tremendously.  The second essential skill is being able to stay warm in your tent.  Nobody wants to try and fall asleep in a cold tent.  Eating a Cliff Bar will help your body stay a lot warmer when in the tent.  Also put some warm water in a water bottle and put it by your feet.  This will help keep your feet and sleeping bag very warm.  Store the next day's clothes in your sleeping bag with you.  This will make them warm for the next day and will also keep you warm throughout the night.  The last and final skill the article mentions is being able to make a matchless fire.  This is very important because this skill will work in both wet and dry conditions.  To be able to have a matchless fire, you must have cotton balls, steel striker, and a Light My Fire Firesteel 2.0.  With these items you will be able to have a matchless fire.  After reading this article, I totally agree with all the skills that were mentioned.  All of these skills are imperative to know when traveling into the outdoors.  This article was very helpful and now I know 3 essential camping skills.
