I've been playing around with my new fire kit today and thought I'd post a pic and invite others to do the same.

This one is housed in the tea tin, with a mesh bag inside to hold the contents when I use the tin to make char cloth. The other contents are:

Small folding knife
Mini BIC
Mini tylenol bottle with strike anywhere matches
Ferro rod with magnesium block attached
Tube of spf lip balm
Tea light
Jute twine
Cotton lantern wick
Piece of hoof fungus
Esbit tab
Med vial with: cotton balls, pine pitch, birch bark, pine and cedar shavings
Rubber bands



Future Upgrades:
-switching rubber bands to ranger bands
-impregnating the jute twine with wax
-adding char cloth
