small flare

For tinder on my person I carry a Large LiveFire tin- super easy to ignite and will burn a loooong time (and can be put out and reused several times)

Also a Trioxane bar

Fire in the winter for an unexpected night out is not optional smile


Thanks for the link to the small flairs! I've been packing a full sized road flair....Lol

David Walters, I absolutely agree with the three ways to start a fire. I also feel that one of those ways should be reserved for a guaranteed easy start such as the fire starting flair mtwarden referenced.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
