Warmth / Heat

So, now you have some protection from the elements and something to sleep in or under, but what if it is really cold and you actually need a way to generate heat? Often, even it it doesn’t get below freezing, it can get chilly: especially if it is rainy. 
Suggestions:
Your number one goal here is to make sure you have a way to start a fire under any conditions: remember, you could be dealing with extreme weather. Once you’ve done that then, consider other options for warmth

Options for Starting a fire:

Small Budget:

• DIY Firestarters (free if you’ve got dryer lint and candle wax!)
• Water proof or even storm proof matches.
• Lighter

Medium Budget:

• Emergency Tinder Kit
• FireSteel
• Sparkie Fire Starter
• Blastmatch Fire Starter

Larger Budget:

• Quickfire (start a fire in almost any conditions with this!)

Other Warmth:

Small Budget:

• Heat Packs (put inside a sleeping bag, jacket, or under a blanket)

Medium Budget:

• Heat Cell ( They are safe to be used indoors, small, light, will burn hot enough to boil water for 4 hour or warm a tent for 8-9 hours)

Hope this helps you in knowing what to get!
