Good tips! In a survival situation, you will surely need a survival kit which contains the items necessary to keep you safe and alive.

Big fan of fire starters myself. I purchased two small waterproof containers, about 1.5 by 4.5 inches at Dicks Sporting Goods. One I use for First Aid, the other I use for a survival kit. In the survival kit is a small knife, magnesium firestarter, a whistle, a mirror, fishing line and hooks, one of those candles mentioned above, waterproof matches, a small flashlight, and a couple cubes of beef and chicken boulin. And finally some water purification tablets. I have a small stainless steel cup that both kits fit in and it snuggles nicely into the bottom of my pack. I’ve hiked alot of trails and hunted a few game, you never know what mother nature will bring. Have to be prepared.

I know you have all seen those little candles in those small tin cups,you get a dozen in apack and they weigh nothing,And are so easy to light all you have to do is pile twigs onto ,And presto you have a fire going,I always pack those with me safe hiking and hunting out there.

Thanks for the mention, i’m also a big fan of the cotton wool and vasaline in a film can approach. What it lacks in romance it makes up for in utility.
Also worht a mention; I saw a site the other day where the writer recommended taking surgical sutures in your first aid kit, they are cheap and hurt a lot less than stitching yourself or your hunting buddy up with fishing line.
I do hate to see a grown man cry – especialy in the mirror!!
Best wishes
