Tip of the Week

Be sure to include a few butane cigarette lighters in your packs. Matches are fine if they are waterproofed, but a lighter can be used to light fires, as a signal and a light source in a pinch.

(You can waterproof matches by dipping the head of wooden matches in melted wax to cover the sulfur tip)
