Fire Starters & Survival Gear: For Planned Outdoor Activities

Choose fire starters and survival gear based on your plans and the demands of your trip. Fire starters and other survival tools should not be viewed as a one-size-fits-all emergency solution. A fire steel requires suitable tinder and skilled handling. Plan based on your destination and realistic tasks. Local fire bans and permitted locations are crucial. Additional items are only helpful if you already know how to use them.

Fire Steel: Selection Criteria

• Function: Choose one for a specific task. Take plenty of time to make your selection.
• Practice: Practice using it before your trip. Clarify any questions using the specific product information.
• Fuel: Consider suitable materials. Factor your existing gear into your comparison.
• Location: Check the current fire regulations. Test the tool’s operation before using it for the first time, if possible.

Choose Tools Based on Task and Handling

Plan your tasks based on the items you actually intend to work on. A compact set of gear is only helpful if its functions are suited to the task. Test how it operates before your trip and follow the instructions. Sharp or pointed items must be securely packed in your luggage. For outdoor work, you’ll need a suitable, permitted location and enough space so that your movements don’t endanger others.
