Default Old birch bark

Cessnaair discovered that birch bark found in the woods is the absolute best, and free fire starter. I used to use the sticks of which Upthesaukee refers. They are also great, but cost money. My dad taught me the newspaper trick which I use now with the birch bark.

The sticks are much smaller to store. You can find them at Aubuchon and LL Bean.
