Without the proper tools, getting a roaring fire started on a camping trip can prove difficult for even the most serious backpackers. While there are plenty of decent fire starter options on the market, and some useful DIY options, the Tindår Wick & Bellow from überleben is one of the best portable fire starters we’ve come across. Housed within a small aluminum slider box is a KeroDry paraffin-wax infused hemp wick perfect for getting a bonfire started. In fact, the wick functions like a match but will stay lit for up to an hour and it’s encased within an anodized aluminum sleeve that doubles as a bellow. You can use the sleeve as a way to safely hold the wick or snuff out the fire once you have your campfire lit. It’s an ingenious little tool that will make your next camping trip a breeze.
