>>893264Sterno's good, as long as its kept sealed.
I have 10+ gallons of fuel on the sled and a little over 2 on the moto. Built fires innawoods using a splash of gasoline to get things going before too.
Fuel burns and dries out the wood, once it's dry the wood burns on its own. Quarter- to half-gallon will get even wet wood to light up.
Flares and lighters on my sled and in my pack on snow. Carry a couple lighters and a flare in my pack on the moto. The carbide I carry is mostly for show. Pretty sure I could start a fire with some other items I carry if shit really got bad. (short-circuit my phone or radio's battery, for example)
>Pic related was another long night. Rider from a different group chased us down, his buddy went down a canyon and got stuck. He ended up hiking back up the canyon in ~2ft of fresh snow that night; took them back out the next day and helped them recover the sled.
