00:00Okay, picture this, it's been raining for two hours, your hands are numb, and you're trying
00:04to get a fire going so you don't spend the night shivering in a wet sleeping bag.
00:08That's exactly why I put together this list of the top five fire starters for wet weather camping.
00:14I went through thousands of reviews and found the best deals out there, and trust me, a couple of
00:19these are so cheap you'll want to grab a few backups. First up, the classic wax cotton sticks.
00:25These little guys are sold in packs of 30 or 60, and they're basically mini torches once you light
00:30them. The wax coating means they shrug off moisture and burn long enough to get your kindling going,
00:36even in a downpour. They've got almost 5,000 sales and a 4.9 rating for a reason.
00:42At $12.16 for the bigger pack, that's peace of mind for a lot of camping trips, and honestly,
00:48they work every single time. Next, we've got paraffin wax fire rope, and this stuff is a game
00:55changer. It comes as a 12-piece kit, and instead of a little stick, you get flexible rope you can
01:00cut to whatever length you need. Wrap it around damp twigs or just tear off a piece and light it
01:06up.
01:07Paraffin burns hot and slow, so it dries out wet wood as it goes. It's only $5.63, it's got
01:14over
01:144,900 sales and a 4.7 rating, and for that price you almost can't afford not to have some
01:20in your
01:20pack. Now here's one people always overlook, hemp wick cord. That's right, 10 pieces of natural hemp
01:27cord that takes a spark like nothing else. It's super lightweight, so it's perfect for a bug-out bag
01:33or a pocket, and it burns steady and clean without all that chemical smell. Pair it with any lighter or
01:39ferro rod and you've got a reliable flame in wet conditions. It's the cheapest way to level up
01:44your fire kit at just $4.11, and with a 4.8 rating and nearly 5,000 sold, clearly I'm
01:50not the only one
01:51who swears by it. Then we get to my personal favorite, the immortal matchstick keychain lighter.
01:57This thing is metal, it's waterproof, and it clips right onto your keys so you literally never forget
02:02it. It's basically a permanent match, you unscrew it, strike it, and you get a flame that laughs at rain
02:08and wind. It's rated a perfect 5 stars with over 4,700 sales, and get this, it's only a buck
02:15and
02:153 cents. For a dollar, you can throw one in every bag you own, and you'll never be the person
02:21who
02:21can't start a fire again. And last but not least, the wooden handle flint fire starter. This is your
02:28no-fuel, lasts forever backup. It's got a luminous handle so you can find it in the dark, it's waterproof,
02:35and it throws sparks whether it's soaked or frozen. If your lighter dies or your wax runs out,
02:41this is the tool that saves the trip. It's just $1.15, it's got a 4.7 rating and over
02:473,700 sales,
02:49and at that price, it's the cheapest insurance policy you'll ever buy for a camping trip.
02:54Seriously, grab one, learn to use it, and thank me later.
02:58So there you have it, 5 fire starters that actually work when the weather decides to hate you.
