We have surely morphed to fire !!! LOVE IT !!!
Lets do,this : if,you cannot root thru my packs and start a fire you surely need to stay home with momma and wait for FEMA
.
You will find one bag with a bic and a cheap magnesium block/Ferro rod and a magnifying glass lots of flammable material to get ya going even in rainy time. You will also find my favorite a tin with fire steel and flint or quartz(local to my area), charcloth of course, fuzzy rope, and birch bark, cotton cloth for,making more char. LEARN STEEL AND FLINT !! In pick are two diff steel kits one is home made from an old file, cheap and does work, however , the commercial made steel is better and more comfy.
Ps CHARCLOTH will make ya look like a pro ! Try a magnifier on regular tinder or cloth, tiresome....try charcloth almost instant ember.
Some would say overkill, my fire kits, I say you tote what you want il do the same. Nothing on trail or off is better comfort for me than fire, except maybe a nice long legged show girl and ive yet to run across one where I tread alone.
Perhaps someone on forum knows friction fire ?? I do not currently but will be adding that arrow to quiver hopefully weekend of the 14th at a gathering in central Ga of crazy woods folk.
