Hunting
Survival Tool and Fire Starter
Uploaded on March 24, 2009Two things I always keep handy are:
1) a Bicycle inner tube:
This can be cut long or short to accomodate slings, rubber bands, tourniquet for snake bites etc. and also can be burned when you need a signal smoke fire. It will even burn wet!
2) A 9 volt battery and steel wool:
Even when wet the steel wool will ignite a strong enough spark to ignite kindling or tinder. Just connect the positive and negative leads on the battery to create the arc. I have found the thicker the wool the stronger the spark.

Wow. Those are really good. I have never heard of that before. I'll hav to remember that.
Instead of a battery why not carry water proof matches or a lighter in some water proof bag for fire starting. Inner tube very good idea though.
I keep a Blastmatch and a pack of petrolatum gauze (I am in the medical field) will start always. And it weighs almost nothing
Bike tubes can be used formany purposes!!!
