[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1987376, member: 63925"] I have all of the above at one time or another and use cotton balls, cross cut shredder paper in wax, for just normal need a fire. For emergencies and need a fire right now without any thought of what I have or need to put together, I use Orion fire starters/signal flares. Come in 2 pack and they are basically sodium flares that can be used for emergency signaling or start a fire anywhere! The flare is in excess of 2,000 degrees so I bet not much won't light up from it and it burns about 7+ minutes so you have added heat to really get it going good. I have carried flares in pack for over 30+ years and actually had to use one many years ago when my snow machine went through ice from a backed up creek. I was last sled and yep, my turn to go through. Dang it was cold and got fire got started immediately. Luckily I kept sled from going down since I was able to touch bottom and pushed it back onto ice. Don't ask me how, lucky I could just move it on normal snow. Funny what you can do when scared beyond belief! Got warmed up and got back to friends house in good shape other than scared out of my mind for few seconds.
