Why Fire Starters Are Essential
When disaster strikes or you’re out in the wilderness, fire can mean the difference between survival and despair. A reliable fire starter is more than just a tool—it’s a lifeline. Whether you need to stay warm, cook food, purify water, or signal for help, being able to start a fire quickly and efficiently is critical.
At Always Be Ready USA, we emphasize the importance of including high-quality fire starters in every emergency kit. Here’s why they’re a must-have for your preparedness plan.
Fire: A Survival Necessity
Fire serves many purposes during an emergency or outdoor adventure:
- Warmth: Hypothermia is a serious risk in cold conditions. A fire provides life-saving heat.
- Cooking: Raw food and untreated water can contain harmful bacteria. Fire allows you to cook food and boil water for safety.
- Signaling: A smoke signal or fire’s glow can alert rescuers to your location.
- Protection: Fire deters wildlife and provides a psychological sense of security.
Why Matches and Lighters Aren’t Enough
While traditional matches and lighters are helpful, they aren’t always reliable in survival situations:
- Matches can become damp or break.
- Lighters may run out of fuel or malfunction in extreme conditions.
That’s why dedicated fire starters, like ferro rods, magnesium blocks, or stormproof matches, are essential. They work in almost any environment and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Types of Emergency Fire Starters
At Always Be Ready USA, we offer a variety of fire starters to meet your survival needs:

- Magnesium Blocks: Shave magnesium to create a hot-burning flame starter.

- Fire Starter Kits: Compact kits with everything you need to start a fire in emergencies.
Preparing for the Unexpected
Having a reliable fire starter isn’t just for preppers or wilderness enthusiasts. Emergencies can happen to anyone, anywhere. By including fire starters in your emergency kit, vehicle, and go-bag, you’re ensuring that you and your loved ones are ready to handle any situation that requires fire.
