Redundant systems to get a fire going is a smart way to think about what gear you will need for any adventure (or misadventure). What if a hand is injured? What if you lose that trusty lighter, or it runs out of fuel? A variety of fire starting tools won’t take up a lot of space or add a lot of weight, and their worth is measured in lives, as hypothermia is the number one killer in survival ordeals. Commercial tinder like Wetfire make fire starting as simple as creating a spark. In difficult weather, it’s hard enough to get a fire going – give yourself a greater advantage to get it going quickly.

Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, our legendary Swedish FireSteel® is the original fire starter. Being the best, however, means always having to push the envelope. The result was a newer generation with an improved striker that makes it even easier to build a fire in any weather, at any altitude. Our second generation Swedish FireSteel 2.0® also features a new design, a color matched lanyard, and a built-in emergency whistle. The Swedish FireSteel’s dependability and intense, close to 2,980°C (5,400°F) sparks, have long made it a favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen, and campers. It has also found its way into cabins and backyards as a foolproof way to light stoves and gas barbecues.

Versions of this kind of fire-starting fuel have been in use for decades, and used to good results by militaries around the world. However, what is different is the packaging. Much more durable than previous versions, the NDUR Utility Flame Gel stands up to more robust carrying in the field, while still performing well when needed. It’s a great way to get a fire going in windy conditions (where other commercial tinders in particulate form may blow away). As well, a pack or two of these gels will fit easily into your kit without you even noticing it.
The NDUR Utility Flame Gel is lightweight, inexpensive, safe to transport by aircraft and extremely versatile. It’s uses are unlimited – it will boil water, provide emergency sterilization, make hot MREs, reconstitute freeze dried foods, heat a cup of coffee, dry wet clothing, provide warmth and start a campfire. It can be used as a heat source in virtually any environment and situation. Because Utility Flame is not a hazardous material, it requires no special clean up or handling. Once the gel has burned, all that is left at the site is Silica sand that easily brushes away.

Fast-Fire Tinder! From SOLKOA, the leader in military grade survival tools and equipment, Fast-Fire Tinder is the new standard for fire starting material that can light up in any weather. Providing a bigger, longer burning cube than Wetfire, and packaged to have a longer shelf life than Wetfire. The ultimate in survival and emergency fire starting material.
WetFire Tinder, the perfect accompaniment to any fire starter, can help you get a blaze going even in a downpour. In fact, the cubes actually burn longer when wet!
WetFire Tinder was born from the need for a universal lighting material that was safe, odorless, easy-to-carry, and unaffected by wind or water. Elite military troops can find themselves anywhere, in any kind of weather. They require something that will light a fire in a rainstorm if needed, yet extinguish instantly to avoid detection, leaving virtually no residue, no odor, no smoke.
WetFire Tinder is the best fire-starting tinder material available anywhere in the world. It is individually packaged in a lightweight solid cube form that cant leak or foul up your other gear. It leaves none of the residue of inferior petroleum-based products and is non-toxic. The cubes burn without smoke and can be started even in high winds and nasty weather. In fact, the tinder burns while floating in water.
WetFire Tinder burns at over 1300 degrees yet cools almost instantly when snuffed out. A small pile of shavings is enough to start a campfire, warm your hands, or pre-heat a backpacking stove. Always have some of these cubes available when you go outside.
While WetFire was developed for military personnel, anyone who needs to start a fire can benefit from this amazing fire starting tinder. For decades, mountain climbers have struggled with gooey fire starting gels to light their stoves at high altitude. Not only messy, these gels are hard to use. At high altitude you have enough to worry about without wasting energy trying to light an uncooperative stove. With WetFire Tinder, this problem is solved. Just sprinkle a small amount of tinder shavings around the backpacker stove, and it lights instantly. No goo, no mess, no hassle.

These survival matches are the best available, and issued by the British Military to all their service components. Each waterproof sealed vial contains ~25 matches that burn for about 12 seconds each – even if wet!
Stop buying those cheap, supposedly “Strike Anywhere” matches that barely give you enough burn time to light anything with, and will not light if wet. These matches are time-tested by military forces worldwide as the best anywhere.
Each waterproof vial comes with their own strikers, so you always have the perfect surface to strike the matches on.
Now do the math: about 12 seconds per match at about 25 matches per sealed vial = ~300 seconds or ~5 minutes of fire lighting burn time, even under wet conditions. That is a lot of fire starting power in such a small, lightweight vial. Perfect for survival kits, bug out kits, and emergency kits of any kind.
