Default Flint or matches?
Which do you prefer to start a fire in the woods? A flint or matches? I guess the easiest would be a lighter but if you don't have one what would you choose?

That is a very cool fire starter. Its very handy and for sure if its connected to the keys, it will never be forgotten. I would buy this tool as my new year present for myself.

Going back to the question, I usually use matches to light a fire.

I like wooden matches. I keep them stored in a small waterproof box along with a little birch bark.

I keep a lighter as backup in case the matches get wet.
