Fire starting devices and methods
Devices and methods are disclosed for creating a fire in normal and adverse conditions using fire starting tinder housed in lightweight containers and multipurpose cords.
1. A fire starter cord, comprising:
a first strand of fire starting tinder fabric impregnated with kerosene fuel and gel wax that function as accelerants;
a second strand of fiber that is accelerant-free and wax-free extending adjacent to the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric; and
a fiber sheath surrounding both the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric and the second strand of fiber.
2. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric is constructed of a group consisting of cotton, wool, natural fiber, synthetic fiber, and combinations thereof.
3. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , further comprising:
additional strands of fiber that are accelerant-free and wax-free extending adjacent to the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric.
4. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric further comprising paraffin wax.
5. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the second strand of fiber is selected from the group consisting of natural fiber, synthetic fiber, and combinations thereof.
6. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the second strand of fiber is constructed of nylon.
7. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric is constructed of cotton and is further impregnated with paraffin wax, candle dye, and fragrance oil, and;
further comprising additional strands of nylon that are wax-free and accelerant-free.
8. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the fiber sheath is constructed of nylon, thereby providing a smooth outer surface and added tensile strength.
9. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the first strand of fire starting tinder fabric is constructed of nylon.
10. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the fiber sheath is constructed of nylon.
11. The fire starter cord of claim 1 , wherein the fiber sheath is constructed of material that is accelerant-free and wax-free.
