Basic gear needs?

I found some birthday candles in an old craft box today.
I think they will be great fire starter. I even found some trick ones.

Going to test them out the next time I build a fire to see if they hold up good against wet tinder. Light one and conserve your bic. Use the candle to light different spots of your tinder bundle.

And you can get 1000's of them for cheap.

If you live in a large city and plan to bug out. Consider keeping a battery powered dremel tool, cutting wheels and a couple extra Master Locks. I know "WHAT FOR" well consider that you may need to remove a lock from a warehouse, gate, old building, etc. and carrying around a 24" set of bolt cutters isn't really practical. The locks are to replace the one you just cut so if there is another bugger outer coming along behind you later they won't just walk in on you. But that won't happen because you will have security out with NVG's and a Dakota alert sensor or two on the road outside. :cool:
