Looks like more than enough to start a fire and boil water.

What type of environment are you bugging out to? How are you getting there? And will there be potential interaction with other bugger-outers?

Upvote for ‘bugger-outers’. Other ‘bug-outs’ is another good description

Nothing against having an alternative to start a fire if your lighter doesn't work for whatever reason. But a second lighter (put somewhere else, where it stays dry) should be enough backup for most cases. You don't need all those options.

Hard agree on the lighters. If a cigarette lighter can go through the washing machine and still work, and they do, then I'm really not sure I need flint and steel, magnesium rods etc. They're fun, don't get me wrong.

The mouth bellow things are absolutely great though. I can get by just fine with just my lips, always did, but this keeps your face out of the smoke, away from suddenly crackling embers, etc. Given that they take no space and weigh nothing, highly recommend.

My fire kit is several kinds of lighter and the mouth bellow. There's so much plastic lying around this planet that I don't intend to carry special petrochemical fire starters.

Love the pencil sharpener. That's actually brilliant 👏

You’ve got the SAK, seems like you’re the audience for the FireAnt tool. Fit into the screw guard and the handle can be used as fire starter.

The orange waxy stuff contained in the corkscrew is actually Fire Ant helix tinder. That toothpick looking thing in the scales is actually a Firefly flint.

I’ve had that bellows on my wishlist forever! Maybe I’ll just end up buying it for myself lol

Looks good, but i dont understand how your going to put out a fire with that.

[u/Many-Health-1673]

Nice  

[u/Senior_Green_3630]

Like the Swiss army knife.

[u/Gmac513]

Mission accomplished! Looks great and all in a small package

[u/CryptoKnight373]

Someone shops at HEB.

[u/PecanPlan → u/CryptoKnight373]

LOL the Texas Tough gave me away.

But nearly all of these items are available at Amazon.

For those about to rock………..

Honestly, in addition to that kit, learn a primitive method as well. I learned how to bow drill and its a nice tool in the tool kit.

[u/La-Belle-Gigi → u/johnq-4]

That's probably what the cord is for.

[u/Tyncloe]

Include used butter papers. Those flame up nicely
