>>357998I would use my rubber sealed zippo to spark dry char cloth (from a sealed tin) which is enveloped in pulled-apart waxed tinder balls. I would transfer this ember pan bundle to relatively dry kindling in a standard teepee design, adding larger fuel logs as needed. All of this is being done in an in-ground trench or hole leeward and under cover of a tree. When the fire is of adequate size it may be moved to a regular fire ring to avoid the burning of my helpful wind-blocking tree (this area becomes my new shitty-weather fire staging area). Every item mentioned is water-proof, easily accessible, dependable and above all else, functional in all weather. How would you start a fire in shitty conditions?
