"Well, crap I left it in the other pack." Words of a bushcraft gear junkie.

Good job Ricky. Next time don't be handling hot coals with your booger hooks or that could lead to you meeting your first aid requirements for First Class and don't let your Dad take your head cover away that works as a fan for the tender young fire and keeps your mug out of the smoke. Make your Dad sign off your advancement requirements in your handbook, I think you might have met some for Second Class. Well done young lad, well done.
