I don't want to start another winter tread, so I'll ask here.
Best tools for starting fire in the winter.
Last week I was trying to light up a small fire and it was hard.
I had a tiny blowtorch - it stopped working despite me keeping it warn.
Zippo lighter failed, which was weird, but maybe because it was chinkshit.
Matches ware ok, but they got humid quickly and ware later useless.
Ironically, small BIC lighter worked flawlessly.
The weather was -10 and windy, wind being the most troublesome factor.
I set up a tarp but it didn't help that much.
As my last resort I usually use fuel tablets or vaseline mixed with cotton that I store in small plastic boxes, I didn't have to use those cause I had some kerosene.
