Do you know how to make fire? No really! I’m talking about making fire without lighter fluid or a fire log?
When my son was in cub scouts, we did a winter camping trip with the troop. As I was walking through the camp, I saw two of the leaders starting their camp fire with a torch! I mean the kind of torch that is connected to a propane tank. WHAT? WHAT! WHAT? I couldn’t believe it. And they didn’t like me very much after I made fun of them. 😉
Anyway, making a fire is a skill that everyone needs to know. And having the right equipment to make fire is important. I would like to point out two items that you could add to your preps to make fire. One of the items is reasonably priced. The other is a little bit more expensive. But both are really cool. Watch the videos below for a quick demonstration.

Try flint and steel. Takes all of 30 seconds to get a fire going. Or a 9 volt battery and a little 0000 steel wool.
Using flint and steel is neither hard or tricky. I taught my kids and grandson when they were 7, and no, none of them burnt anyone’s house down.
