Prerequisites for the quick and successful fire support themselves in an emergency situation, is the presence of a sufficient amount of tinder, kindling and fuel, the tinder is the first and most important component of this list. Tinder - is any material capable of an immediate fire or smoldering in contact with it sparks. especially urgent application in the extraction of tinder fire using flint, a lens from the sun , or by friction.

As tinder, used since ancient times: digested in a solution of wood ash inside of the birch bracket fungus, dried moss, fiber flax and cotton, etc. Except that as tinder , you can use : birch bark chips, wood dust, fluff wool, dry grass, bird feathers, paper, burnt cotton cloth, napkins, newspaper, etc.
