Cardinal Gear Tinder Box
Starting a fire without matches requires good tinder. We have dependable fire starting materials that you can place directly into your survival kit, backpack or bug out bag. Look for Tinder Quick, Chaga Tinder (tinder fungus, a naturally occurring material) and MayaSticks or MayaDust - both from fatwood pine.
In addition to our tinder products, you may also consider packing along some dryer lint, char cloth, steel wool (000 or finer), untreated oakum (jute fiber) or vaseline-coated cotton balls. Use ALOKSAK resealable element-proof bags to keep tinder material dry and ready for emergencies.
