Fint and Steel are the way to go. If it gets wet no worries. I always carry multiple means to make fire, but preferr using my flint and steel. It teaches you the secret of fire which is preparation and with that you can start a fire in the most extreme of situations. If you are looking for a good source for flint and steel go to www.wildernesssurvival.com, and no there are not to many "s" there lol.<br><br>
