The Best Natural Fire Starting Tinder. Period!

I think that birch bark is for sure one of the top two or three natural tinders out in the wild. Birch bark stores for a long time, puts off a massive flame with a relatively small amount of material and can be used for starting fire even if the kindling isn’t perfectly dry. It is a great tinder for starting fire and I highly recommend it the next time you go out to the wilderness to practice your survival fire building skills.

Welcome to the Reality Survival Channel! On this survival channel I teach a full range of emergency Wilderness Survival Skills and Urban Survival Skills, as well as Primitive Survival Skills. My goal is to educate folks on real world survival tips and survival techniques that cover the gambit of emergency Wilderness Survival, Urban Survival, Primitive Survival, Bushcraft, Disaster Preparedness ( Prepping ) & more. I also do Outdoor Gear Reviews on Survival Kits, Survival Gear, Survival Knives, Guns, Bug Out Bag Gear & just about any kind of Every Day Carry (EDC) Gear & disaster preparedness or prepping gear. I am a prepper & also do some DIY & How to videos on prepping as well as teaching different Survival skills, bushcraft skills, & prepper or prepping skills to help you sort out what really works & what doesn’t. I learned wilderness survival skills when I was a Survival instructor for the USAF about 15 years ago (class 97-02). On the Reality Survival Channel you will see a mix of survival & prepping & gear review videos each week. I usually upload at least one survival skill video, one gear review video, one prepping video every week. Typically uploads happen on Wed, Sat & Sun mornings.
