If you have a bag of potato chips handy, they can function as a fire-starter due to the fat content of the chips. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that the ideal moisture content for firewood is between 15-20%.

The beauty of this is that it's making use of items around the house and it doesn't weigh much in your pack. Moisture meters are an essential tool that can really make the difference between a successful fire and one that struggles to get going.While the chip kindling is burning, place light, dry wood on top to catch alight over the burning chips.

Using too few bits of kindling when building a fire may cause the fire to go out before the logs have had a chance to catch alight. Our kindling is naturally dried and cut to ensure it has reached the ideal level of dryness to spark and grow a flame into a roaring fire. If you just continue adding big sticks, this will suffocate the fire and keep oxygen from entering the area.
