OK this is actually a pretty important subject because if you find yourself caught out without gear and equipment being able to have a fire is a real big plus. I would have to put the ability to have a fire above almost everything else. Even things like weapons, shelter etc. etc.
Here are a couple of tips: First of all one of the world's greatest fire starters is in fact in great abundance on our nation's highways and byways. it is theubiquitous Styrofoam ice chest I promise you, you are never more than 100 yards from the pieces of a Styrofoam ice chest. This material will start very easily and will in turn start virtually anything else afire .
Tip #2 The inside of dead limbs and branches are always dry. This is why one of the best tools you can have with you is a good framing hammer. Or for this purpose, the back side of a good hatchet to crush said limbs or branches allowing you to get the dry material from inside them. You can also smash them between rocks if that's all you have. This is an ideal alternative if you are caught out in the rain even if it's been raining like Noah's flood for two weeks this is still a viable source for flammable kindling. then all you need is enough shelter from the rain to get your fire started.
