There are a lot of ways to start a fire. The easiest is gasoline and a lighter, but not many people want to carry a can of fuel with them when they're out hiking or bugging out. Plus it's a pretty unsafe method that could result in flash burns and even chemical burns if you get the fuel on your clothing. Luckily, nature has provided a way to start fires that are as efficient as gasoline.

Pine resin is remarkably flammable, and will result in a blazing inferno in a matter of seconds, as anyone who has ever witnessed a burning Christmas tree will attest.

What's even more amazing is that pine resin will ignite even when wet, making it an ideal fire starter when camping out in the woods.
