Cotton balls dipped in melted wax and then cooled are less messy in the bush. If you don't care about the mess, cotton balls dipped in Vick's Vapor Rub will also have a medicinal use.

Awesome kit! Instead of the Bic lighter, I have a Ronson Jetlite. It's a bit more pricey, but piezo-electric lighters will work even when wet, and you can adjust the flame too; so it works even if upside down.

Here in Northern Ireland, a freznal lens is pretty much useless unless it’s a sunny day in the middle of summer, so I typically just use matches, a lighter or a fire steel in my kits. Also the cotton balls are Vaseline work brilliantly. Thanks for the advice.

There's one change that jumps out at me: Having your fire kit in a tough bag is convenient. However, it also means that if you lose that one bag, you're without a way to make fire. Having the fire kit is good, but have backups in other locations around your gear and on your person. When I was in Alaska, I never went anywhere without a lighter and a knife in my pocket. I have a ferro rod in just about every bag I own, they're in my vehicle, in coat pockets.

I had the same thought at first, but I am pretty sure he has mentioned having multiple fire kits, lighters, tinder packs, rods, etc. stashed all around his bags for exactly this reason. I mean, he's not stupid so as to put ALL firestarting gear in one bag, not a single piece anywhere else ("but I have the fire bag, duh!"), and then after losing the firestarter bag says something more or less incoherent about hindsight being 20-20

Great kit. I'm putting one together right now, and I'll probably include basically the exact same thing. Another idea for you to consider putting in your kit would be a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer which is alcohol based. That could then be used on tinder to get a little extra flammability in really rainy conditions. Also, not an addition, but more of a hint: the petroleum jelly on the cotton balls can be used as lip balm. Both of the items I mentioned also have additional first aid uses. Like you said, redundancy is optimal.

A few sticks of Fatwood are great addition to your Fire Kit. You can get large packages of it at Walmart and most hardware stores, and it's rather inexpensive. Fatwood is very oily and is an excellent tinder. I've used it for years to start my wood stove. The pieces are also quite small, so they will fit nicely in a kit.

I like those plasma arch lighters, because they can be charged with any USB device (and solar charger), making them potentially last forever without "fuel". You should also be able to fit one of those small collapsable bellows in your kit. Being able to blow a direct stream of air on your embers is very useful for getting a fire going, or rejuvenating an old fire.

I like the concept of a fire kit. love the comments of redundancy. I would like to add education and aquisition of primitive fire making skills and conservation of contemporary fire making tools. the matches, the fuel lighters, even the ferro rod are consumables. I use the most primitive method possible for the situation at hand. The premiss is Redundancy, 1is none, 2 is one, and 3 is what you need. that's a minimum, specially with fire. Educate and aquire new skills. Conserve your resources, you never know how long you'll be out.

I have tea candles and those plain white candles. I have read in various books that by first lighting a candle, even a skinny little birthday cake candle, you can avoid using a second match, burning lighter fluid or reducing your fire rod. They can also be used for light or heat. Second thing that comes to mind is in regards to tinder. I have saved a ton of chop sticks, popsicle sticks and tongue depressors, which incidentally are sold as craft supplies. And I save short pieces of 1x2 wood or fur strips to trim into shorter thin lengths and then I can drill a hole in one end to attach to a knife sheath, key ring or fire starter such as a magnesium bar. This would provide dry wood that can be shaved.

I realize this is a couple years old now, but i recently found a product that I personally believe has been one of the most important additions to my fore kit. Its called the Ugly Stick Re-usable Match. I am in no way associated with this product, but am a true believer. I found it on ebay and thought it would be worth trying out. It is light weight, easy to light with a ferro rod, has a good burn time, and is water resistant. Makes ignition from a ferro extremely easy. I do practice fire skill with ferro and knife only, but this addition is worth a place in my fire kit and certainly worth consideration.

I like to include birthday cake candles. Small enough to carry a few and do the trick in a low wind situation. They keep a flame for a good while and once the tinder starts you can toss the rest of the candle in to help the fire build on itself. It's hard to beat jellied cotton balls but like the most important thing you said, it's good to vary your options.

Your fire Kit is awesome. I bought the same pouch and put very similar items in it. But I wanted to add The Steve Kaeser tin fire starting kit to mine. So I bought the maxpedition Fatty and was able to add all my fire preps into that pouch. Your prepping skills are way beyond mine but you should check out the Kaeser fire tin. You only had 1 piece of tinder in your fire kit. The Kaeser tin is small and compact and has lots of fatwood and jute twine with a fire steel for about $11 on amazon. It's a great little tin to add to a fire kit. I love your videos and have learned a lot from them. I also bought the Savage B17FV 17HMR rifle after seeing your review. Probably one of my favorite rifles I own. Thanks for what you do.

One of my favorite piece of kit is two things. One, I have an old Hudson Bay Company tobacco tin with a mag. Lens. I prefer to keep a good plug of pine resin in there and a little char and some fungus. Next I alway put a ranger band around my bic lighter. Living in the Pacific Northwest on the ocean where the weather is either; drizzel rain or hard rain for months on end I have found that I can get a fire started in rain and high winds with one of those never fail.

Nice collection of fire starters. May I suggest you try out a sugar packet or glycerin product mixed with some potassium permanganate. It will burn very well and the Potassium Permanganate can be used as an antiseptic as well as for water purification. This is widely used by the British Armed Forces for those purposes. It is used by water purification plants for cities as well.

You can see a video of its use here: Make a "Matchless" Survival Fire Kit

Great minds think alike. I was putting together some stuff in the garage and picked up a stick of fatwood. Now, I've seen people drill a hole and put it on a bit of twine. Then, we have the ubiquitous pet balls. Then, you have the issue of starting a fire on wet ground. Finally, since it was a rainy day, I reverse wrapped some jute twine I had to bulk it up. So, I trimmed the fatwood to fit in my pouch, I drilled a hole near one end, I rubbed my hand wrapped jute cord with vaseline, tied a stopper knot in the end and threaded it through the hole in the fatwood, then wrapped it around the fatwood. I took this to the kitchen and spooled off a bit of aluminum foil (about 2 s.f.) and burrito-wrapped the cord wrapped bit of fatwood. Voila! For about $0.50, I have four feet of vaseline impregnated 1/8" jute cord, a 3/4" square x 6" long stick of fatwood, wrapped in a water-repellent ground mat . . . and it kept me from being bored in the rain for almost a half hour!

I wrap the carry handle with jute twine and when you need it you can take some off and fluff it up. This could get wet though so you should probably put it in the pouch itself. This way, you can store loads of tinder and it catches a spark really easily.

I think a rare earth magnet (300-500 lbs. pull force) would be a good item to add to a survival kit to find survival items that a person can not get to easily.

Fresnel lenses were created in the 19th century for lighthouses. The lenses were then adapted for spotlights and theatrical lighting instruments. The word "fresnel" is the name of the inventor, Louis Fresnel, and it is pronounced fre-nel or fray-nel, but the s is always silent. You might want to add some silicate pouches in the bag to keep things dry.

Robert Powell it does unless you have a dog and most of your dryer lint is dog hair it doesn’t stay lint I just had that problem yesterday in my back yard.

I have a similar fire kit using the regular EDC Maxpedition Pouch. I put a couple of fire steels, a magnesium bar and striker, Waterproof matches and a Bic lighter. I keep some Esbit cubes and a 3 Trioxane packs. I also have a tin of Mini Inferno fire disks. I don't keep a fresnel lens or magnifying glass as I find that the toughest way to start a fire. I also keep a small wind up flashlight. But I plan to add a EDC pocketknife. Great suggestion!

I like that small knife. It amuses me that I have so many things in my small (7”x 5” x 3”) “go to town” purse that I will undoubtedly never need in town, like a decent small knife, a small magnetic compass, tiny jar of Vaseline, hand sanitizer, a protein bar, a Fresnel (sp?) lens, a signal mirror...after all, I can check my lipstick in a signal mirror as easily as in a regular cosmetics mirror! Oh, and a loud, piercing signal whistle, too. Just remember, dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. That’s the only Morse code I can remember!

Strike-anywhere matches in a waterproof case; Bic Lighter, fatwood stick(s), fire piston, char cloth, stormproof matches, firesteel, cotton balls dipped in wax OR vaseline (though the wax-dipped is less messy), dryer lint in sealed plastic cylinder. I use a slightly larger Maxpedition case for mine.

Forgot about my magnesium block! Small rectangular block with attached ferro rod. Use the included striker (short hacksaw blade) or pocket knife blade to scrape shavings and strike the ferro rod.

I would suggest that this fire kit is a little light on fire tinder. I like having multiple types. I have dyer lint, char cloth, cotton balls and vaseline and fine steel wool.

the No1 thing about fire lighting kit is make it 100% waterproof, i would use a micro pelican case type case. Tampons are great firelighters and bring a small tea light candle. Fabric cases aren't great for fire elements and 100% agree about fire steels, 1 on your person and 1 in reserve in your kit. Char cloth is also excellent.

I have a tea candle in mine. You can also keep a tube of chapstick in there as well for extra petroleum jelly or a candle (using a Q-tip head).

The refillable lighter you have here can use any fuel that lights from spark. Can even set up a wood gas collector to refill it.

Nice kit brother, one thing I rarely see in many of the fire kits on YT is Kapok. I have used this stuff and its great. Natures Vasline cotton balls I guess. Will be making a video shortly of my fire kit and will include a demo of Kapok as well. Keep at it bro, love the vids and love the booboos at the end haha Chris

Even lighters that no longer produce a flame is still a good fire starter because of the spark it still gives.
