In the tin is ,clipper lighter , and a spare clipper flint wheel and flnts , a magnesium fire lighter bar and striker , i am going to be sticking match paper in the lid and add wet weather matches , on the tinder side i have char cloth , shavings of fat wood plus 2 pieces of fat wood , vaseline cottonwool balls , some jute string , i am also going to try and get a tealight candle (not sure if i go plain of citronella for the added fact insect repellent)
Now i know this is not a home fire starting kit this is design that in the event that we do get pushed in to doing a runner from here we would have the stuff to get a fire going , and not to sound sexist here but come on gents please try and help and teach the ladies how to do stuff just think you have done a runner from your home your on the road you go to a quiet spot and low and behold you have an injury meaning you can't light the fire and so on your wife is left there wonderign what to do , also i am goiong to try and photo copy the fire starting pages from my mini sas survival guide and pop in the tin with the added bonus you can use the paper to burn if you need it.
I know my wife and i are both disabled and huge medical issues but i want to give us a fighting chance hence doing the grab bags , some people ask me why do it and i always say the same things said to me "fail to prepare , prepare to fail" plus a few other choice ones over the years but it is right people think preppers are a little squirrels but if the pwoer goes or the lights go or god forbid it got to roits and stealing i want the best chance possible of getting out and moving on .
If people like this i will also do a full grab bag list when we finish the new ones our older ones focused to much on food and not enough of the full survival kit , we now have full medical kits in bo6th bags n sewing and so on it is just when you sit and think hmm well i could end up with a bag that would take a lorry to move but if you can compact it down to just enough to get you going it is do able , but again bare in mind we are disabled and struggle these bags will just make life that little bit easier should we need to , i want to put as much in place to protect my wife and my niece as i can .
