HOW To Start a Fire with an Emergency fire starter
In Disaster Survival or in an emergency it is all of the time a great idea to have multiple ways of starting a fire with you at all times. Matches may run out or a lighter coulded fail. First of all, make sure your fire area is clean of debris and safe to use. Circle it with rocks if you have those available and scrape the ground bare.(be sure they are dry as rocks from a creek or riverbed are often full of moisture and will explode when they get heated up),If you want to use your fire mainly for heat, you will want to have it close to your tent or whatever you are staying in but if you only need it to cook some food with, then you may want to move it further away so you won’t be fighting smoke and get your belongings all smokey as well.
Survival Fire Starter Methods – Emergency fire starter
There are several ways to start a fire and if you have not done so already, I recommend adding a magnesium fire starter to your survival kit.Imagine yourself in the worst kind of weather at the worst possible time and you find yourself forced into a survival situation, and it will help you determine what kinds of survival fire starters to pack for YOUR needs…
Matches is the first thing people think of when starting fires and rightfully so. It is the easiest way, in most cases, especially if you have water-proof matches. You are able to make your own water-proof matches by dipping the ends of wooden matches in melted wax
When your matches get wet, they are the most frustrating way to get a fire going!
Lighters are great but you as well need to keep them dry. A good idea for any survival kit is to have a few lighters, along with your water-proof matches, and a magnesium starter sealed in a plastic bag.
Magnesium fire starters is a great way to get a fire going. It burns truly hot and is better in wet conditions than matches or a lighter, and also in my opinion than the old fashioned flint and steel method.
