Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting tinkering with fire starting materials & techniques

I used to use 35mm film canisters. For you youn'uns, those were small plastic cans with good lids used to hold these round pre-Civil War thingies called camera film. When 35mm film became extinct, I switched to large pill bottles. There's no way a lid will ever come off of one of those...whether you want it off or not. If your emergency involves cold hands, they'll be a lot colder before you get the lid off to start a fire. It might be easier to carry a couple tracer rounds for your rifle to shoot the lid off and start the fire at the same time.
