One match good one.
Next survival skill you must learn is to start a fire using just wood thats avalible around the camping site. Let me me tell you its a b***h compared to just using a match.

Magnesuim Air Force type bars are great compared to the wood bow or similar "stone age" methods, I don't smoke ciggerates or otherwise, never have, never will, but in my pocket I always carry a fully filled zippo lighter.
Sometimes women ask for a light and they arn't hookers ether Still I don't date smokers so if she asks I'm doing it to be a proper man around her nothing else.

You guys can keep your flint and steel, bow, string and stick...I'm a modern man...I take fire starters and matches when ever I head for the timber...It doesn't make sense not to. Why would you find yourself in the woods without some means of easily starting a fire...As they say on "Surviver"..."Fire is life".

Bushmaster,
Its always good to have a backup source, and its pretty hard to mess up a magnisium fire starter. A lighter can stop working or lose all the feul, matches can have a whole many things effect them, so its good to be able to have backup means to start a fire.

growing up camping I liked matches and had the flint for backup. on one trip with my group one of the girls brought a lighter and forgot to put it in the sleeping bag with her that night and the thing frozen like her can of propain did because it got to cold. back up is good.
