" I keep working on my friction-fire technique. For me, it is not a nearly guaranteed like it was with Cody Lundin or Matt Graham on Dual Survival. Gods of fire. I'm hit or miss and it bugs me my successes are not more consistent. Oh well, something to work on this Spring. "
Old bird nests make great fire bundle starters for when you are cold and need to get a fire going. Every time I am out in the woods and I find a old birds nest I will put it in my pack for when I need a fire on a go. Those mag sticks and strikers are great tools to have as well as a lot of trail mix.
