Day 40: What’s the most USEFUL survival skill…
congratulations you made it to day 40!!!
what better way than to end it with the most USEFUL survival skill…
making fires.
But why is fire important?
Because it solves problems:
Boils water
Cooks food
Warms shelter
Keeps predators away
Fire = survival. So I never go out without fire tools—especially multiple lighters.
#1: The Lighter
It’s does not need to be fancy, but it works almost everywhere:
High altitudes
Cold temps
Hot climates
Easy to carry
Easy to check fuel
Cheap to replace
Pro tips:
Use a clear lighter so you can see fuel
Add a rubber band or zip tie under the button to prevent leaks
Wrap with bike inner tube for waterproof, reliable tinder
Even if you like using bow drills, flint & steel, or ferro rods—bring a lighter.
No fire = big problems.
No tinder = useless flame.
