Realistically, you should have multiple methods of starting a fire in a survival situation.

One of the most reliable, however, is to use a Ferro stick and a fuzz stick.

A fuzz stick is different from a feather stick in that its wood shavings are finer and will ignite quicker and easier.

In a survival situation, being able to quickly light a fire is more than just a comforting convenience – it could be the difference between life and death!

By using a fuzz stick, you greatly increase your chances of getting a roaring fire started quickly and easily. Can you think of ways to improve on this method? If so, leave a comment below.
