Getting a fire going reliably in damp Canadian backcountry conditions is a skill worth having the right tools for. The Chums Chimney Fire Starter is a compact, well-equipped fire-starting kit that keeps your tinder dry and your ignition system ready, whether you're at a riverside campsite or working through a wet morning in the bush.

The Chimney folds closed to protect the included hemp tinder from moisture, so you're not scrambling for dry material when conditions are working against you. A ferro rod striker produces a reliable spark and doubles as a bottle opener, and 10 feet of 550 lb. parachute cord rounds out the kit with a versatile piece of emergency cordage that can also be unravelled for additional tinder material in a pinch.

It works equally well for lighting a camp stove or backyard BBQ as it does for building a fire from scratch in the field. Clear fire-starting instructions are included for those newer to friction-based ignition. Note that this tool is intended to aid in fire starting and is not a substitute for proper outdoor survival training.
