    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    Why bother shooting tracers? Just light a few stalks on fire and they will come to you

    Kind of happened here a few years ago.

    The roots of this lie in the year 2002, when three unrelated events occurred within 30 days. In October, a cornfield used as a parking lot next to The Amazing Maize Maze in Paradise, Penn., caught fire and burned.

    Chris Andrew of the Paradise Fire Company describes the scene on the Internet, with pictures:

    “The parking lot was a cornfield, which had been mowed down that morning, allowing cars to park on top of the corn fodder. With a stiff west wind, the fire was spreading rapidly and was consuming multiple vehicles. Firefighting efforts were hampered by many factors.

    “The parking area was almost half a mile off the roadway, which made access to the scene difficult. Water supply was limited, and water had to be hauled to the scene via tanker trucks and relayed to the attack engines. Initial attack crews encountered multiple vehicles on fire, with numerous explosions due to fuel tanks, and other vehicle parts. The wind was spreading the fire towards the nearby farmhouse, and the exposure had to be protected.

    Clearly you're underestimating what you can carry in your hand for illumination..

    Not that I would pay that much for them. They may or may not light up everything for about a 1/4 mile enough you don't need lights for 30-45 seconds
