Tinder and Fuel

A fire needs certain components to successfully ignite and burn with any level of sustainability. Tinder, kindling and fuel, in that order, are the 3 stages of a fire. Tinder is the first and foremost of these 3 stages. Various forms of tinder can be found in nature, but in many circumstances it is simply not available at the moment you need it. You must prepare yourself in advance with quality fire tinder in case of an emergency situation where building a fire is of primary importance.
