The recent cell phone interruption affected me and I provide a few thoughts as well as what we need to do as a result. Events like this can serve as a wake-up call to even the best prepared.
This portable fire starting kit comes in a compact rugged metal box. Perfect for a bugout bag, survival kit, thrown in a vehicle - or kept handy for getting the fire pit going.
INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:
Waterproof Matches(16) X 2
Char Cloth X 2
Ferrocerium Rod X 2
Carbon Steel Striker X 2
Cotton Balls Infused w/Petroleum Jelly X 2
Butane Lighter X 2
How this kit will allow you to start a fire -
The included waterproof matches can be completely submerged and will still ignite with no problem. Simply shake or blow the water off and then strike on the included striker piece. These matches burn at over 1,200 degrees.
Char Cloth is a natural material made specifically to be easy to ignite even with a very small spark. This makes it an ideal fire starting material.
The included butane lighter will strike a flame over 1,000 times. If you haven't made a fire by then, give up.
The ferrocerium rod and included striker can throw thousands of sparks over and over again with each scrape. These sparks burn upwards of 3,000 degrees providing an excellent method to start a fire.
Petroleum jelly cotton balls are one of the absolute best fire starters around. They light easy and burn time is measured in minutes.
Yes it does, seems so many different areas hit at the same time though.
