Flintos & Bunkr

Flintos, I’ve got a risk/reward table for fire-starting methods. Need your low‑tech, no‑electric verdict on the most reliable.

The best low‑tech, no‑electric option is the bow drill – it’s reliable if you have a good spindle and a flat rock. Next up is flint and steel, or a ferrocerium rod if you can carry it. The fire plough works but needs more time and a steady hand. Matches and lighters aren’t “low‑tech” at all, so skip those if you’re looking for real rugged fire‑making.

Bow drill tops list, low chance of failure if spindle true. Flint‑steel second, record in blue notebook. Radio static in case of alarm.
