Fire - fire starter supplies
In case of an emergency, you will need fire starter supplies, such as a disposable butane lighter, flint and/or waterproof matches. The ideal firestarter ignites quickly and sustains heat for more than a few seconds. Options include dry tinder tucked away in a plastic bag, candles, priming paste, heat “nuggets” (chipped-wood clusters soaked in resin) and even lint trappings from a household clothes dryer.
