With summer coming to an end and the temperatures dropping it is starting to feel a lot like fall. Though we are thankful for the cooler weather, the temperature drop at night can put a damper on many fun camping trips planned for the next couple of months. A campfire is a perfect way to put you into the camping spirit as well as stay warm as we continue into the chilly nights ahead. Luckily here at your local Bass Pro Shops, we have a selection of great fire starting materials from many top brands: Light My Fire, Coghlan’s, and Ultimate Survival Technologies. Not only do the brands create great products, you can own one yourself without having to break the bank. All the products we will discuss are under $15.00.
Light my Fire is a Swedish Bran that specialized in camp mess kits and fire starters. Their Firesteel 2.0 Scout is one of the more popular fire starters that we sell. This is a set that consists of a ferro rod and a metal striker that when slid across the rod creates a spark that is over 5,000 degrees! The unit itself is durable and will last over 3,000 strikes. The striker and the starter rod come attached on a string so you don’t have to worry about losing one or the other. In addition to strikers, Light My Fire also sells a collection of fire starting materials which they call Tindersticks. These Tindersticks are natural wood that has a high resin content that makes it highly flammable and long lasting.
Another popular outdoor brand is Ultimate Survival Technologies. They take the system of a sparking rod and a striker and simplify it into one concise package. This combination they call the Sparkie. The Sparkie can shoot sparks with a simple push allowing one to sart a fire by simply placing down kindling and pushing the Sparkie towards it. Unlike other brands where you have to fumble with making sure you shoot the sparks in the correct direction and with enough force, the sparkie ensures that every time you strike it you get a spark. In addition Ultimate Survival Brands has fire starter tinder titled Wetfire. Wetfire as its name suggests can light under many harsh conditions and will ignite with just one spark even when wet.
Tired and true brand Coghlans provides the standard for fire starters. Their fire starter is the standard rectangular system people might recognize from survivor and many survival television shows. The block is used with a knife to create sparks. White this is not as simplistic as the systems created by other brands, this is the original design for fire starters and has lasted for many years. Coghlans has a collection of tinder as well. Their firesticks are waterproof and will quickly ignite and stay lit to ensure you have the best change of starting your fire.
So as you gear up for you fall camping excursions come down to Bass Pro and check out these great products that will help you create a fire fast and a fire that will last!
