Just a heads up fyi kind of a thing. Don't buy one of these reusable match things. My husband was curious so he purchased some off of ebay.
Good in theory but they absolutely are hunks of junk. It takes forever for the match to actually light, if it does at all. I wouldn't want someone relying on this as one of their fire starting sources.
On the note of Survival, is there a good outdoor survival course offered in the Edmonton area.
I'm mostly focused on a night or two in the winter as a sledder. Any suggestions?

All this talk of start a fire. How do you get a fire going and staying in 3 plus meters of snow?? Isn't the fire just going to
melt the snow and fall apart? What's the technique?
My Petzl headlamp has a strobe function.a battery powered Strobe Light
I don't remember see this on anybody's list
not sure how usefull they would be in the winter, likely freeze up.I recently discovered these and think they are brilliant for any backpack.... (LifeStraw)

lol thanks for the clarification!
This is the Jetboil I have. Fairly compact, good to heat up food, melt snow and could be used to heat up a small snow cave too.
