Well put. I don't see our discussion as an argument either. I think it important that different points of view are discussed.OK, I'm still going to disagree a bit.
Note to everyone: I don't mean to argue, but to present an alternative view. Each person needs to make up their own mind on what is needed.
The Alcohol prep swabs that came as a standard item in my FAK's will act as a secondary firestarter if needed, although I really prefer to save them for use as a flash antiseptic.2.) You only have one firestarter (although it's probably not the only one you carry). Fire is critical, IMO and with minimal shelter, can mean the difference between living and not. Also can help with water purification should you run out of tablets. Maybe my area is just a lot wetter than yours, and fires are not a sure thing, so multiple methods are called for.
