I personally believe it is very important to practise as much wet fire lighting as you can because if you can't get a fire going without magic biscuits then you could be in the ****.
Would be great if people would share their discoveries of natural tinders and how well they work in wet conditions.
I'll start it off..
I think dead fern/bracken is fantastic for tinder bundles because they are very fibrous and will light easily when used with a cramp ball. Ferns are usually off the ground even when dead or can be found hanging on other plants being exposed to the wind so often can be found dry even when rain is present.
