Zippo Emergency Fire Kit with Tinder Discs

The Zippo Emergency Fire Kit is a waterproof case containing wax tinder discs and a fire-starting tool.

Tinder is the part people forget. A spark source is useless without something that will catch from a brief shower of sparks, and natural tinder in wet weather is exactly what cannot be found. Wax-impregnated discs light from a spark and burn for several minutes, which is long enough to dry and catch damp kindling.

The case is waterproof, which matters because a fire kit that has been soaked is a fire kit that does not work, and nobody finds that out until the moment it counts. Combining the tool and the tinder in one sealed case means neither is left behind, which is the usual failure with separate items. Explore more survival gear.
