Still need skills to build that fire. I’ve seen the untrained try to start a log with some paper and a lighter. No kindling, no small sticks, etc.

My point was that developing the skills is just as important and perhaps more important than having the tools.

Not many people are so unskilled that they would not benefit from having a lighter and a space blanket.

I don’t think this thread is for people who attend outdoor courses and have done survival training in the military, but for those people that go car camping and end up having to spend the night sitting against a tree when they get lost.
