How to Carry Fire
WHEN YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES FORCE YOU TO MOVE, taking your fire with you
may save you a lot of trouble in the long run. This is why I recommend
including a coffee tin with a lid in your survival kit. You can put some red
coals and other tinder inside, where it will smolder while you travel. You can
also make a fire bundle, light the end as if it were a large cigar, and carry the
glowing bundle to your next destination.
A fire bundle is a collection of tinder
that begins with the finest material in
the middle and graduates out to the
shell or covering.Tie the material tightly together into a
cigar shape. Once lit, it should smolder
for hours.A properly lit fire bundle can last for
days.Fire (^) | 111
