A fire starter and hard warmer are important to keep in your backpack, especially when on those camping trips during the harsh cold winter months. A hand warmer can also be a "handy" thing to keep in the glove compartment of your car in case of an emergency.

Fire starting is one of the first things to consider in a survival situation. Remember your rule of three's. You can live 3 minutes without air, three hours without shelter and fire in a harsh environment, three days without water and three weeks without food.

Emergency fire starting is one of the most important things to learn and own as a survival skill. Fire starting can be the answer between life and death. Warmth and shelter are just about the first things to remember in a survival situatuion. Having several methods of fire starting with you at all times is a good start at preparedness.

It’s important to have a good fire starter. It’s also important to have some good tinder. We sell some very good tinders here. However, it is also important to use your fire starter at home before you go outdoors. A great project for the budding outdoorsman is making your own tinder. Try the cotton ball and vaseline tinder method. Just get a cotton ball and some vaseline. Get the vaseline throughout the cotton ball, but don’t oversoak it so it’s too wet with vaseline. You’ll need to pull the cotton ball apart a bit to expose the individual threads and throw a spark from you new fire starter. You’ll be amazed at how quickly it catches fire and how long and hot it burns. This is a great project for scout troops as well.

The homemade cotton ball and vaseline tinder is great, but can be messy. Go ahead and also try one or more of our compressed tinders. Another great project is to try different fire starters and tinders to see which works best for you. Again, the bottom line is to learn how to make a fire with your fire starter long before you have to start a fire in a survival situation.
