I second bdavidson's recommendation of dryer lint. It works great! I always carry a mini Bic lighter as my main source of fire and a Light my Fire Scout as a backup. And then, for emergency tinder either dryer lint, char cloth, or both. If you don't know what char cloth is, you can make it yourself with stuff you already have around the house and you can see what the Scout is like in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7uLVGrAt1M<br><br>Post edited by: jasonklass, at: 2007/11/01 02:30
