So I was wondering tinder you all use for your flint or ferrocerium rod? Do you just find stuff around where you are like dry grass (good luck in winter). Or do you carry some with you? If you do carry some around with you I'd be interested to know what you carry them in.
I recently got a new fire starter for my EDC. But it doesn't have an open flame so I need some ideas for tinder (either to find or carry). One thing that came to mind, and I can't believe I didn't think of the earlier, is that I could just use some of my hair. Obviously I'd only do that in SHTF and not camping.
So I guess the question isn't only what do you use but also what would you use?
