Hey everyone, I want to go camping in the pacific north west and I'm a bit worried about fire starting. So I'm thinking of bringing a few extra methods of making fire. Everyone knows you bring at minimum 3 types of fire making so here are my base 3:
x3 Emergency windproof matches ( I worry about running out ya know)
x2 pocket lighters ( in case I use all the fuel, or get the striker wet)
x1 bow drill kit.
If I were somewhere simple, like my back yard, I would probably be fine with just this. Since this trip is farther I plan on taking so more options.
x1 magnesium steel and flint striker, it's mounted in an antler for stability
x1 bottle of extra butane for the lighters
x1 quart mason jar full of char cloth
I can't help but think there is something I'm missing? Any suggestions?
