For Today:
Today's Assignment
Add matches and fire starters to your disaster kit
Carry at least 2 dozen wooden kitchen matches that have either been dipped in wax or nail polish to make them waterproof or carry them in a waterproof container.
Magnesium fire starters are good for starting fires with wet or damp wood. Shave magnesium shavings off of a magnesium block with a pocket knife and then strike a spark from a flint starter with a pocket knife. Magnesium burns extremely hot and will ignite almost any combustible material. Can be purchased at most sporting good stores.
Cotton balls and gauze from the first aid kit make excellent tinder and can be ignited with sparks or with matches.
