[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2454299, member: 807"] I keep a perpetual match, a magnesium striker/starter, some wax soaked cotton balls and some strike anywhere matches in my bags and vehicles. Keep your eye out for an old electric water heater, the sacrificial anode in them is a magnesium rod and will make lots of magnesium scrapings for fire starters with a flint striker. I plan to add this permanganate to my kits as well. I bet your could scrape some pine rosin off a tree and use it almost as well as the glycerine. Worth trying. I also keep one of the plastic Fresnel lenses in my kits as well for using sunlight to start fires. 50+ years ago I was a boyscout, and I learned quite a bit from that organization and it is still valid today.
