Unconventional/Uncommon/Unique Items in Your Kit

Wisdom. But where to buy...?

You can find it on eBay, they will ship you all you need. A pound is usually under 20 bucks shipped.

You can also find magnesium ribbon there. It's a lot more useful than those magnesium blocks. Ever try to shave flecks off of one, in a windy rainstorm while your hands are numb? I have, and it sucks. And not in a good way, either.

Adding a few strips of magnesium ribbon to your kit actually weighs less, and is a lot easier to use.

I found it, in a one pound container. Loudwolf brand. Do you have a brand you prefer? Thx!

Nope, I have used several different sources. I have never noticed any real differences.

You used to be able to buy big tubs at a swimming pool supply store, but no longer.

Got it. I ordered a pound. I also saw on for magnesium ribbon, one post was selling aluminum powder and black iron oxide powder. Interesting stuff to be had on eBay.

Sweet baby Harambe, I hope they don't ship all of that in the same box.

1LB Al powder and 3LB Black Iron Oxide powder and 75' of magnesium ribbon.

When I did a mouse-over the "Buy It Now" button I swear it said NSA red flag. Lol

Vaseline infused cotton balls in a zip lock bag for fire starting.

- light, compact and work like magic.

Triple antibiotic ointment in lieu of the Vaseline will burn also while adding another function.

Small bottle of alum to cause cuts to clot up faster.
