Realistically, I’ve carried a “Fire Kit” in various packs for over 50 years. Contents changes a little over the years, but the only thing I have ever used to start my campfires has been a lighter and a few times the cotton balls. My go to fire-starters have been Bic lighters since they came out in 1973. Always carry one in my pocket and a minimum of one extra in my pack.
Im basically the same although the pocket lighter may vary there is almost always at least a mini bic in all my bags/kits.. the pocket lighter is my go to but sometimes you need a back up and a backup to a back up, if nothing else a small kit gives peace of mind that you have dry tinder
The only thing i have to add is this. You can buy all sorts of size zip bags at craft stores in the beading or jewelry making sections as well as little I mean tiny glass bottles.
my only recommendation is that when you cut the striker off the match box to cut some extra that way you can ensure the striker is totally vcovered and theres no chance of an accidental ignition of all those matches, though unlikely you uldnt want a small explosion in your pocket
I always enjoy seeing Altoids type kits and mini-Altoids type kits. Especially fire kits. This is a solid kit that would serve well for anyone who knows what they're doing. Very nice.
nice little kit but you can skip a step with the bags and just heat your knife blade .. if you pack your matches in sections of plastic straws heat sealed at both ends you can use the straws as tinder. pack other straws with oiled cotton and they will burn a long time.. I like to stretch electrical tape tightly around the tin to add some water resistance before adding the D tape, both tapes work as tinder. I think this is a great kit to go in a glove box or tackle kit or just drop in a go bag.. thanks for sharing!
One could either use a Food Saver type vacuum sealer to make smaller bags or reuse small zipper bags they get with items they buy. Also tar paper & dryer lint are stored in my EDC Fire kit.

@@oldmaninthewoods52 i meant extra cardboard from the box so it can fold over the striker strip.
Best video I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks!

Glad I wasn't the only one who wanted to mention cutting and sealing in one step.
I like the way you make things simple and efficient. 👍
Thank you

@@oldmaninthewoods52 You're right of course store bought bags could be too thin for a Food Saver seal only option.
