For survivalists, campers, hikers, and really anyone who may find themselves out in the wilderness, knowing how to create fire in one of the most important skills you can have. Of course there are many different tools to make sure you can bring fire, or at least the ability to start it, with you. Perhaps one of the best methods though is char cloth.
