Emergency Survival - Wilderness Survival | Fire
Fire is an essential element of survival in an emergency survival, wilderness survival, or urban survival situation. In modern times electricity can be considered fire, in the sense that we use electricity for the same things fire has been used for in the past. Boiling water cooking and heat, are many times taken for granted in modern times. Turn on the stove to cook or turn on the heater to warm the house. In an emergency survival situation when the electricity goes off you will need to make fire. A home emergency survival kit should have matches, lighter, and I suggest something like lighter fluid, not charcoal lighter but a small can of cigarette lighter fluid. Make a waterproof fire kit for yourself that contains anything that might be useful to start your survival fire. A fire is essential to survival, but take care, fire is also the most dangerous element of survival in an emergency survival situation. All fire gives off toxic fumes and care must be taken that toxic fumes are not inhaled. Outdoors the problem is minimal, but inside where toxic fumes can't escape they will become deadly.
