Useful camping tool

by Ellen
(Santa Fe)

Fire starters are a useful camping tool. It is easy to use and much safer than lighter fluid. If you go camping with your teenagers, this is a safe way for you to teach them about starting the fire.





Place a fire starter down in the fire pit.

Cover with coal or tinder.

Light the starter and it stays lit long enough for the coal or tinder to get started.

The best part about them is that they are easy to make and you can do a whole lot of them at a time – then save them for when you need them.

If at all possible purchase a fire starter or fire steel. They are cheap and excellent way to start a fire. I find it is also the easiest way to start a fire for the unexperienced person.
