Anyone have any experience with a road flare? How can I put it out in a hurry if I need to? Cut it? Water? Mud? Dry leaves and a bird's nest?
LOL. In a hurry like if you light it on the porch of your apartment? Sorry man. I don't know much about them. I'd say light it on your neighbor's porch. Test all the extinguishing methods you mentioned and tell us which one works the best.

I just picked up one of these Swedish fire starters. It works great on some toilet paper in the bathroom . . .
