The ability to make Fire!

[admin]

Yes, making fire is one of man’s oldest and most important skills. Besides making a spear, the making of fire is probably where all our advancements began.

I read somewhere that in any survival kit you should have at least 2 if not 3 ways to start a fire. I have 4 actually.

2 bic lighters
water proof matches in waterproof container
steel wool (in use with a 9volt battery which I carry for my transistor radio.)
and My flint and steel fire starter neck pouch from my Rendezvous/Renaissance days.

I also carry fire starter sticks. cotton balls in petroleum jelly, and dryer lint.

the lighter and matches are in my EDC the rest is in my BOB. is this overkill?
