If you need a fire during a disruptive event but it has been raining all day, here is how to make your fire successfully!
All preppers know that a great fire is vital to your survival when SHTF. It can provide you warmth when it is cold outside, you can use it to cook your food, and you can even use it to signal for help if needed.
However, chances are if you have been outside for weeks or months at a time, it will have rained heavily for at least some of that time. So what do you do when you still need a fire but the ground is too wet?
There is a way you can accomplish this seemingly impossible task with some time and effort as the video on the next page shows.
This way you will always be able to build a fire and keep it going for as long as you need it, even if it has been raining or even snowing for days.
This is a skill that every prepper needs to know about. It may just be the key to your very survival!

Did… Did he use fire to dry tinder and melt pine pitch… To make a fire? Either I missed something or he’s from the 4th dimension.
The pine pitch, is highly flammable, a few pieces lit and put in your wood would start it. Use sparingly, make sure you have none of it still burning and well burned out before using to cook over, will leave a flavor, (Yuck)
I break up about a a fist full in 1/2″ to 1″ x 3″ sticks, but that’s so 1 or 2 start twigs and small branches first.
It’s late at night for me. I just thought I missed something. Lol
The pencil sharpener, genius!
All well and good but for realism, how about doing this on a day that’s actually raining and not a sunny day. It’s a lot harder to do with rain pounding down and everything is soaked
Set up a fire shelter, gather the driest stuff you can find that’ll burn and not just smolder. Use birch bark if available. Cover the area you are setting up the fire as well do it has a chance to start. When it’s blazing you can remove tarp or whatever overhead cover you used. If it’s burning good enough your fire shelter will burn into more and larger fire. If it’s dumping out good luck and be patient and persistent.
You want a fire in any weather. I can give you a sure fire fire “excuse the pun” anytime anyplace in any weather and well you can’t put it out but you will sure have a fire. Take an old tire ,nothing inside just an old tire found on the side of the road or abandon house or pretty much anywhere. Any weather, take a bic lighter and flick your bic on the inside and let it set there for a few minutes inside the tire on the rubber and it will catch and will burn and burn hard, and all the way around the time and hot flame and dark dark smoke.. I didn’t say I preferred this type of fire but it will burn in any weather any place since its dry where the tire is starting to burn and rubber burns just like pine pitch and it burns hot and smokes.. try not to breathe it but if you need a fire in any weather , there you go.. tire fire , can’t beat em lol
