First Aid Kits

First Aid Kids for fire making? Absolutely! Not only is a first aid kit important anywhere, they are very important in the woods and when you need to know how to start a fire without matches. A simple cut can turn bad really quick if not cleaned, covered and kept clean.

Remember that in practice or real survival situations one of the first things to do is inventory what you have. Go ahead and look at the ingredients of all the items in your first aid kit. Remember, alcohol burns hot and gels can burn longer. Try this test. Get a regular tissue like you have in your pocket or pack at most times. Rub for example some antibiotic gel on a corner of the tissue and light the tissue. Most of the tissue burns quickly, but the corner with the gel, keeps burning long after the rest is ash. Now that will definately help you get a fire going.
