Throw it in the fire. Wait about 2-3 minutes, use tongs to get it back out. Wait til you've had about a dozen beer before trying this, it works much better... Oh and you should have your pants down around your ankles too...
Oh, THAT would be unfortunate. Getting the little pieces of glass out is a pain (literally.)

Hey folks!
The Quelque Chose camping experiment went quite nicely...unfortunately no burning embers or blinded by popping cork stories to report though.

I simply heated the open bottle in a single pot over the fire, wasn't even boiling hot....about 6-7 minutes I think, and it was toasty warm...probably could have handled some heat a bit longer though.

It did go down super easy, considering we woke up that day (Sunday) to pouring rain, managed to get out hiking in the afternoon, only to get rained and SNOWED on.....before returning to a wet campsite. But the chili and beer made everythign alright.

Should have been out camping this weekend!

:D

Cheers!
