Magnesium Fire Starter by InstaFire

Whether you need to stay warm or to cook food, you will need to be able to easily light a fire. “fire is a top priority in a survival situation,” bardwell said. There are many ways to start a fire. “weatherproof matches, lighter, tinder, magnifying glass, flint and steel, magnesium bar or a durable reusable fire starter,” said garrett dejong, senior medical specialist at global rescue. Only pack the fire starter if you know how it works and you’ve practiced with it at home. “be familiar with all your equipment and practice using it before leaving for the backcountry,” bush said.

Because nature is unpredictable, we’ve got reusable plastic ponchos and swiss army wool blankets to add to your survival kit for protection against wind and rain. Our pocket-sized magnesium fire starters provide fuel to start a fire and the sparks to create it. Illuminate your surroundings with swiss army bunker candles or infrared light sticks.

Waterproof Matches (4-pack) by InstaFire

A survival kit is something most hikers, hunters, and explorers will never break open. It will sit in the bottom of a backpack, potentially for years, encased in a waterproof vessel of some sort, lightweight and out of the way. The leanest survival kits are stored in altoids tins and the like, and they include just the bare backwoods essentials: matches, firestarters, fishing line, a tiny compass, water purification tablets, a whistle, a small rescue mirror, and so on. “as far as survival gear goes, it really depends on the space you have available, how much weight you can comfortably carry, and how far you plan to venture,” said mike forti, a graduate of the united states air force survival school.

In order to survive cold temperatures, you need to be able to start a fire. Packing a few different types of fire starter in waterproof bags is advised. You can pack matches, a lighter, a striker, and dry tinder. If one method fails, you will be prepared with another one. Our friends at primus make a great all weather option in the ignition steel. Another good addition in this capacity is a small folding saw to gather more tinder.

1. Sawyer Mini Water Filter

Sawyer’s newest micro squeeze water filter has caused me to retire my good old sawyer mini filter for backpacking and any other adventure. It has certainly earned our editor’s choice award. The micro weighs just 2. 5 oz, has a much better flow rate than the sawyer mini, is easy to use and to clean, is very affordable, has standard water bottle threads (like smartwater bottles), and it’s rated to filter up to 100,000 gallons! it’s so light that i take it places i normally wouldn’t carry a filter, like mtn biking, small hikes, fly-fishing, even trail running. It’s awesome to drink out of any stream you come across, without worrying about the animals upstream.
