In any kind of emergency, warmth is critical to your survival. Depending on what is going on around you, weather or lack of materials may prevent you from being able to quickly get a fire going. But with a waxed jute fire starter kit, you will be able to reliably start a fire with it having not only the highly flammable materials needed, but also comes with a ferro rod and striker stick for you to get the sparks needed to ignite it pretty much anywhere. Waxed jute is the perfect material to bring along for any emergency kit – it is a small bundle of twine that has been coated in wax, making it highly flammable and easy to ignite. With just a bit of fraying of the ends, and some sparks from a ferro rod, you will have long lasting fire source. Whether you use it for camping our outdoors adventures, or tuck it away in an emergency kit, they are a great compliment to other generic fire starts like matches or butane lighters because you can rely on them in poor weather conditions. This jute rope fire starter has 20 pieces included in a small sealed tin, along with a ferro rod with a scrapper and strike stick.
