>>128382Well, I think if you're going to bring a candle you may as well just bring some firelighters.
As I understand it, candles are for times when there is absolutely no wood around and no chance of a fire (snowfields, etc). But I have limited experience with that.
You don't need any extras. I guarantee you with some knowledge behind you, you will be able to start a fire with just the wood you find and a flint+steel. You'll get better.
Also, teepee is where it's at, as
