I had problems with the cotton/vaseline ***** being able to light damp wood or in rain conditions. The magnesium lighter was hot enough to ignite damp wood sitting in a puddle.

I have two saws:
BCB Commando Wire Saw with nylon wrist straps. 7 or 8 bucks at the Surplus Store.
Gerber Exchange A Blade folding saw. Has one Wood blade and one Bone blade. About 20 bucks at Cabelas or Gander Mt.

 

Good to know! Thanks!

Yeah, not too far from the house.

 

+1 for the saw... I keep a couple in my truck (044 Stihl and 020T for the job), but they can come in real handy if you get stuck somewhere and need to scavenge wood. I also have a tacticool hatchet in my truck, but its done its share of wood chopping. Surviving without a fire is tough, even if you just use it to pass the time it can save your life.

 

Bill you're a knucklehead are you going on a road trip or preparing for the nuclear Holocaust? i have a few tools and a fuel filter but not an extra fuel pump or nothin crazy like i'm seein here Bill, it's awesome don't get me wrong but i think i'd like to know what kinda road trip are we talking about?

 

ANY kind of road trip where you don't want to be sitting on the side of the road, waiting for a tow truck, Ty.

That is... If there is a Tow Truck AVAILABLE...

 

You need electrical wire, baling wire, and diagonal cutters, and wire strippers.

Seriously, how can you have have a tool kit without diagonal cutters and wire strippers?

 

For the bailing wire, see the second pic, under the tire plug kit...

The needle nose I have will cut and strip wire... although not ideal, they will do in a pinch.
Honestly, I guess I overlooked that, every other vehicle kit I have has wire strippers and wire in them... glad you caught that for me.

 

You also need some bolt cutters or a hacksaw.
