mushroom 12,430 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 What socks said about birch bark. I've been in a situation where I had to use it in the pouring rain. Keep peeling the layers until it's thinner than paper and it WILL light no matter how wet it is. Amazing stuff and a good piece of knowledge to have Take a space blanket if youre out for a while in mountain conditions and one of the big orange bivvie bags is also a must, they can be split open to provide an emergency shelter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Ziplock or even bin bags work fine,but a submersion bag/dry bag doesn't cost the earth and you're not gonna accidentally tear it. I have a Ferro rod on my keys,again just a few quid but it's a good back up that you don't even have to think about. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
