I am not carrying a dedicated fire kit today since I don't have enough pockets (in jeans ).

Since starting fires is fun I wanted to play too.

My 'bare minimum' survival set-up.

My fire stuff is my EDC knife, a LMF Scout, two slivers of fatwood, and two small lengths of jute twine.

I only wanted to make a small one so I just gathered a handfull of fuel. And set up a small clear spot.

Prepped my jute,some fatwood curls,pine needles and small twigs.

After way too many strikes on the ferro rod my jute took a spark.

Fed it some more..

Used up the rest of my fuel, and let it burn out.

Hey Bushy,

Where did you get that cool leather pouch?

bought it locally in vancouver BC from a outfitters that traded for it. They dont carry them, it was a one time thing private deal....

the pouches are made in Austria i do believe

Can't make a fire today, but here's my kit:

Mini bic is tie-wrapped to help prevent leaks. The tinder vial is jelly-soaked cotton. Sandpaper added for a striking surface for the matches.

I kept stuffing Styrofoam into about a half a cup of gasoline until it was the consistency of bread dough then I rolled it flat and once a day or so I flipped it over and flattened it again until is was stiff. Then I broke it up into small pieces and let it dry out.

 

[shelbysguns]

cool!
