Well really we love anything to do with fire... We love axes and saws, matches, lighters, flint and FUEL.
Our favorite thing for lighting fires is... Stroh 80% rum! It gets wet wood burning almost as well as it does your throat.
I have also discovered a new found love for my shiney new Kelly Kettle. Firstly it boils the water for our tea, then the fire inside is tipped out and and built upon to make a loverly roaring fire to warm our faces, dry our socks, cook our dinner and then drink our rum in front of.
Above is a picture of it in action, early one frosty morning down in Glen Etive before heading out for a day on the hills. With water from the ice crusted river, the kettle was super quick in boiling me a nice hot cup of tea. I then popped a panful of bacon on the fire and breakfast was soon sizzling away. A perfect start to a lovely day in the sun and snow, after a very cold night in the tent!

P.S. Please don’t put rum in your kelly kettle. That's what stupid is.
