I have seen several posts on a variety of fire starters which I have found to be very interesting...so I was wondering about fire tinder.Char cloth and some other types have been mentioned,But I have found that carrying a few "Kingsford matchlight" type briquettes that have been broken into several pieces and sealed in a Ziploc type bag work great for tinder in many types of weather...your input or ideas for other types would be appreciated...
spider webs, pine needles, bits of grass, dandelion and cattail fluff, feathers and down, old wornout clothing, birch bark, cambium, birds nests, thistle down, milkweed fluff theres a million types of tinder out there just waiting to be used
If I were going to carry a "ready made" tinder like the briquets, then it would be wet fire or Trioxane. More reliable than the briquets i would imagine, and more waterproof/resistant. Just my $.02
