| Matches |
| Matches are a great source of fire, which is in turn the ultimate source of heat, warmth, light and comfort. A selection of wooden matches in a waterproof container will ensure that you are able to light a fire when you most need one. A small container of wooden matches, another with some tinder and a small magnesium fire starter or similar tool will go a long ways towards making sure that you can quickly get a fire going when you need to. The first great invention of mankind was fire, and that is the first order of survival if conditions are anything less than ideal. Deciding when to light a fire is an important consideration, while it will tend to deter wild animals, it tends to attract human attention. Historically fires have been used for signaling, cooking game, providing warmth, drying wet clothes and as a light source when constructed in the form of a torch. To do any of these things you will need a source or a spark. Waiting for lightning to strike or a spontanious forest fire can be inconvenient and dangerous, by packing some waterproof matches and a fire starting kit you can ensure that you choose the terms and conditions of any fires which are necessary to start in a survival situation. |
