Super cheater bottle = win.

Why no bic lighters?

In a real "need fire" situation, a bic, vasaline or wax soaked cotton balls and/or strips of inner tube are the way to go if you're going to pack materials with you.

@jimrbsn Jake actually has a bic and cottonballs on his survival necklace. Check our channel for the video -Joe

thats all in your kit , all the time ?

@sonofsigns I always keep a sandwich size ziploc bag of fire starting gear in my bag, it has moved from bag to bag and I rarely use it. I always keep my primary stuff on me and the bag is a fall back item ,thats why it sat for so long. Reduntency can be entertaining sometimes!

Looks good, everything you would need actually. I have a bag with cotton balls, which reminds me to refill it for spring!.

Good kit for all sorts of conditions

I'm a recent subscriber. I'm just always amazed at how difficult people make fire starting... sure, alternative/primitive methods are important to know, but if you're going to pack ready made stuff, make it easy, I say :)
