[QUOTE="Bob2650, post: 2798218, member: 112280"] I have made fire with most of the primitive methods and the fancy tricks. Generally speaking the more primitive it is the more work it takes. Everyone should learn primitive fire starting methods and, for example, know which wood in your area works best for a fire drill. It is very easy with some combinations and very hard with others. What I actually carry is a standard Zippo and a 4oz can of lighter fluid. Just about everyone from hardened combat vets to boy scouts recognize this as easy, effective and quick. A winning combination. If I am in a serious hurry, such as after taking an unplanned bath in ice water during a winter storm I will squirt lighter fluid on my tinder, been there done that. Otherwise that is a serious waste of lighter fluid as the zippo has a very strong flame that works fast by its self. By "lighter fluid" I refer to the many fuels that work well in a zippo. [/QUOTE]
