Get lit
Never get stranded in the outdoors without a way to start a fire

With all that can go wrong in the Canadian wilderness, being able to start a campfire can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. I spend a lot of time hunting moose and chasing trout in Newfoundland’s backcountry, so I always bring along matches, a lighter, a fire striker and some tinder. And I always keep at least one fire starter on my person in case I somehow get separated from my pack.
