Reddit reviews Lehigh Group 530X Jute Twine Heavy Duty twine 190'

I wouldn't worry about it. It's part of the aesthetic and [shouldn't be too difficult to replace] (http://www.amazon.com/Lehigh-Group-530X-Twine-Heavy/dp/B000VYBB0I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397028584&sr=8-1&keywords=twine) if you ever need to.

Don't know what you want it for, but twine is always useful to have around!

I keep a Doan bar in my fire kit (along with a LOT of other things) as a backup to my Ferro rod, because the Magnesium shavings will light even if they're wet. However, they're useless unless you can put together a good tinder bundle.

If I were you, since you're starting out practicing in your backyard, I'd get:

• The Mora

• A good Ferro rod, like a Light My Fire or a Firesteel Armageddon (my favorite and what I use)

• And some Jute Twine.

Learn how to carve feather sticks and focus on getting fires started with natural materials and a ferro rod, as well as fluffing up the Jute Twine for making tinder bundles.

Also, use the Jute Twine to practice tying useful knots that will come in handy for setting up your tarp later.

I'd get the tarp and some paracord next and practice setting that up.

I'd save money and get the canteen and cook kit once you're actually ready to go out and use them.
