I liked to use the chainsaw gas best since it had oil mixed in with it. lol. It burned better.Man if my daddy caught me trying to use his lawnmower gas to start a fire….. ouch
we did find an old barrel of what I am assuming was fermented corn mash, hidden in the woods close to our house one time…. That lit up pretty darn good.
Yeah, this is true. And Eastern White Pine needles if you can find them dry.I think the traditional “Yankees” go to to is birch bark.
Man things that need to be know'd.If you've never been to where you had to make a fire with what you had on hand or never planned to be there, why would you ever know about such things?
I wonder if that helps keep bed bugs and crotch crickets awayIn a bad situation you could take the scent pad out of a thermacell and use it as a heat source to get through a night. Esp, if you have any kind of shelter or a rain poncho.
Not sure about the bed bugs but a quick spritz of the Tink's 69 should keep you clear of crotch crickets and lot lizards.I wonder if that helps keep bed bugs and crotch crickets away
Like the saddle hunters of the camping worldIdk man there's regular weird, and then there's bushcrafter weird. I'm a little out there but I can't get with full bushcrafter crazy.
No better way to ruin a chain on a saw than trying to cut a big piece of lighter, but collect those shavings! They will flat out explode when you need to start a fire!
