Getting a fire going, under the best of circumstances, can be a bit difficult at times. And under the worst of circumstances? Well, it'll be darn near impossible if you don't have the right tools.
Let's face it; most people wouldn't be able to get a fire going unless they had lighter fluid, a completely full lighter, and the driest wood and tinder possible.
In most survival situations, having ideal circumstances for fire construction is pretty much unheard of. Ideally, you'd have three methods of fire starting. Generally, these will be matches, lighters, and a Ferro rod. However, if you are suddenly thrown into an unexpected survival situation, you may have to make due with what you have.
For instance, if you find yourself in the middle of a SHTF, gotta get the heck out of Dodge, situation, you may only have some supplies that would be in your truck's toolbox.
Luckily, if you happen to have steel wool and a battery in there, getting a fire going should be easy. Check it out by watching the video on the next page.

This works. You just have to be ready when you go to light it. Don’t mess around ’cause it can go quickly.
Old prison trick lol
Store separately. Be careful.

The things you learn in jail might just save your life. Whowouldathunkit.
Yeah, you just happen to have steel wool and a 9 volt battery when your stranded.
I learned that back in the 70’s, and how to cook bacon and eggs in a paper bag.
Ya, because i am going to stock my supplies with steel wool & 9v batteries instead of packing lighters, matches, magnesium block, flint & steel……
Why would I be astonished by this? I learned that$#%&!@*when I was 8……………
Jeremy Risk. Very helpful …..
You can knead in chapstick and light the cotton balls in the wet with any spark I use it all the time to light the hibachi at home.
