Fire Starting For Survival | episode 232
Today I’m going to talk all about fire starting for survival. This is part of my National Preparedness Month series. I go into many reasons why you would want to be able to start a fire. And not just for a SHTF scenario. You might need to start a grill and your lighter is out. Where I live a store trip takes at least fifteen minutes. Fire starting is an invaluable skill to have for survival.
There are a million different ways to start a fire. Some very easy and some incredibly hard. Starting a fire with a lighter and vaseline-soaked cotton ball is about as easy as it gets. On the other end is hand-drill fire and natural tinder. Finding natural fuel in the humidity of the south is not an easy task.
I talk about several of the methods for starting a fire. The different tools you can use and pair them with. There’s two parts to it. You need a way to generate a spark and a way to ignite that spark.
