Whats in your Fire Kit? - 00111001 - 11 May 2012

Just curious really...

I've got lots of inner-tube cut into strips (i do mean lots)
cramp balls (Daldinia concentrica, not a medical condition!)
3 lighters
50cm of pyro fuse
ferro rod & striker
hexi tablet
waterproof matches and WP striking surface

I'll be adding (when the stuff arrives) a little container of BP
Damnit, didn't mean to post then!
Also adding charcloth and some thick string soaked in paraffin wax.

Oh, I got some tissues in there too as they burn well, if a little quickly.

I have a few different fire kits, too much to list right now; also I tend to put the ranger bands (inner tubes) on kit like knife, rucks, anything with straps saves space.

Okay, this is where I sound fire obsessed haha.

2 Flint Strikers
6 disposable lighters
1 butane lighter
1 packet of waterproof matches
1 box of wax coated matches
1 money bag full of cotton wool balls
2 lipbalms
1 magnifying glass

Will be adding, hex tablets before winter, and hope to learn the old fashioned stick technique by then too.

i've got about 30 disposable lighters, about 6 spark strikers, 4 boxes of waterproof matches, a full pack of household candles plus a couple of stubs, plus my specs which i can use on a sunny day to start a fire!Big Grin

Standard gear plus these three items:-

3 boxes of joke cake candles (36). The ones you blow out and they relight. They are SO very useful even if it's wet.

Wire wool extra fine grade. Dead easy to get to glow with a simple AA battery let alone a good spark.

Citrella tea candles. 8 hour burning and repels flying insects as a bonus.
