- Keep tinder as dry as possible
- Jute fiber is a good demo tinder
- The ideal tinder is a mixture of 1/3 down, 1/3 plant fiber, and 1/3 inner bark
| Down | Plant Fiber | Inner Bark | |
| Dandelion
Milkweed Cattail Thistle Reeds |
Nettle
Milkweed Yucca Evening Primrose Fireweed |
Oak Cedar Hickory Willow Walnut
|
Ash
Elm Poplar Cottonwood |
- Use ground up shell fungus as a coal extender
- LAST RESORT: Beat debris into bits, crush tree bark
