    I don't know how water resistance regular lighters are, but I vacuum seal the lighters to keep them dry and cut a small notch on the plastic so its easy to tear when the time is needed.
    I lost my CRKT 4" knife and it now cost double of what I bought it for a few years ago, apparently knives are good metric for inflation.

      I made pocket-sized EDC tinder kits from little pill bottles stuffed with dryer lint and Vaseline. Wrapped a couple of matches into a bit of a plastic straw (heat seal both ends) to fit inside. I gave these as stocking stuffers several years ago. The kids (adults) though they were cool. My daughter showed hers to me the other day, still in her purse every day. I wrapped the pill bottles with about three yards of duct tape, as an added bonus. You’d be amazed at what survival goodies you can fit in a pill bottle or an altoids tin!

    hello Grey :) Of CouRse CR noticed that you said it . You might say it more than me in videos/streams :) full of flame , spark and heat( solar in this case) methods with tinder. A bellows isn't needed but can help get more oxygen in (more or hotter flames) I remember doing that to those matches the first time i got my hands on them . One of the biggest thing to remember about fire is "surface area" as a wise teacher once told me. Take CaRe the grey family :)

    Bag looks great. One question - do you keep that fire starting kit on the inside of your pack or the outside? I wouldn't trust the velcro if you are storing it on the outside. All my kits have mechanic attachments plus I will put some sort of lanyard with a carabiner to retain them

      Hey Robert, these are all stuck to the inside of my bags. They all have a wall attachment to stick them to but makes it easy to remove. Maxpedition offers many modular systems that work well with each other. I wouldn't trust velcro on the outside either, especially hiking through the woods. 👍
