Self-Sufficiency and Preppers

[Rollie Forbes]

In an emergency, fire is just as vital as water. Here is a basic fire kit that you can easily put together, and it will cost you next to nothing (all of this stuff can be found at a dollar store if you don't already have it at home):

I keep my kits in a Ziploc bag, but any small bag/pouch will do.

• Cigarette lighter​
• Small 32-count boxes of matches​
• Tealight candles​
• Magnesium fire starter (Walmart)​
• Cotton & wax fire starters​

A couple recipes for cotton fire starters:

Survival Fire Starter - Vaseline Cotton Balls

Put your cotton fire starters in a small container inside your fire kit.

That is a nice easy and cheap kit. I was going to buy one. I do have a flint and steel but never actually tried to start a fire with it. I know it sparks cause I burned myself with it lol
