One of my favorite pieces of gear, everyone chuckles until they try it:

Makes burning bowls in wood a cinch.
It's a similar product to one of these.
Basically it's a little tank with lighter fluid and you dip in a pseudo-match that you strike against the side of the tank in order to ignite the tip.
pocket bellows. It's like a turbo charger for your fire.
Scoutmaster here. This pocket bellows for starting a fire is my favorite purchase this year:

I use the EOG Pocket Bellows. It works amazingly.
Got you
Called a permanent match. A kind of lighter
https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Survival-Starter-Perma-Match-Permanent/dp/B00MEA746W
Oh fun! $500 is a good amount to work with. I am going to assume he has absolutely nothing as you said full kit.
This folding saw is just awesome, and on sale! I've had one for many years. About $22.
This Knife is a lot more heavy duty than the Moras people will inevitably recommend (not that there is anything wrong with them). It's also a lot more expensive. I think it would make a nice gift. Also on sale. $104.
A pot $15.
A Silnylon tarp $63.
Gotta have paracord $10
There are a lot of firesteels out there but this one was uber cheap and looks just like the one I've had for years. >$2.
I would HIGHLY recommend a small forest of Hultafors, Wetterlings, or Gransfors Bruks make. I couldn't find a good link for them on Amazon. They'll be about $150
All told that list(including and axe) is about $360 before tax and shipping) Obviously a pack to put it would top it all off and bring you pretty close to $500 mark. It's just too personal a choice and I can't begin recommend one.
What stuff if any does he have already? A blanket or sleeping bag could be a good choice. A small alcohol stove too.
I picked up this thing for about $11, it's called the Pocket Bellows V3.
You don't need it, that much can be established. However, it is just long enough for you to not have to have your face that close to the fire, effectively allowing you to never get smokey eyes while building up your campfire, and to me, it's totally worth every cent.
After the essentials, I'd honestly recommend a pocket bellows. I got it as a gift and I've used it to assist construction of every single fire I've made for the last several years.
It's definitely not an "essential" item. You can obviously start fires without it. But it's quite nice.

Pocket Bellows makes a nice stocking stuffer.
I made the mistake of subscribing to monthly camping box. The previous month's box looked awesome and came with a camping pillow (something I needed) and a bunch of other stuff for $25 so I signed up with the intention of getting one and canceling. I ended up with three months of the box before I was able to get the cancel function on the site to work. The second box I got came with pocket bellows.
When everything is damp and we're car camping we often used a lid from a tote box or an empty cardboard box to fan the fire but now we have this little thing and it works amazingly. It gets a lot of condensation in it by the end of the night but it's fun to use if you get past the spit. It's great for backpacking too and it's got a nice little carrying case so you don't have to worry about it getting bent in your pack. It's simple, it works. I love this stupid little thing.
Uh.... Why would I bother with this BS when I can just get stormproof matches: http://www.amazon.com/UCO-Stormproof-Waterproof-Replacement-Strikers/dp/B00Y4TYJTQ
Define "big"?
These are 1/2 inch by 6 inch in a pack of two.
They work well.
when workshops are fully functioning will we be able to craft crossbow bolts?
Are there any plans to extend the range of wildlife past bears?
Did you consider making the wolves afraid of fire?
Can we havve one of these please 8)

I prefer these
The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is a classic
Light My Fire makes reasonably good fire starters
Storm proof matches are fun
----
You can definitely gather the tinder from outside, don't buy this. Just get a handful of pencil sized sticks and wrap it up with some twine. Just make sure it's dry (not green / wet).
Zippo's are okay, but torches and even bic lighters are more valuable for actual fire starting.
----
Maybe a map for your local area. It would go well with the compass and maybe encourage you all to get out and hike a trail.
National Geographic has many options.
----
Headlamp is valuable. 'to see your love' or whatever.
----
Duct tape is fun. It comes in lots of different colors and is versatile for all sorts of adventures.
----
First Aid Kit is more practical - but if you are being corny - you could say 'in case of broken heart' or something.
Retractable thing is a pocket bellows, here is a cheaper version on amazon as well for way less! $4 instead of $15
I use this one and im pretty sure it functions exactly the same
https://www.amazon.com/POCKET-BELLOW-Collapsible-Campfire-Blasting/dp/B07KJWQ7VM/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=pocket+bellows&qid=1573845181&sr=8-4
I had this one in mindfire starter
>On some comments there people complain not getting any sparks so I guess there's really some kind of quality issue with some.
Generally, it's not that there are quality issues. It's that people are unaware ferrorods can have different hardnesses. The harder the rod is, the more difficult it will be to get sparks off of the rod. You will need to scrape faster and press harder, but the rod will last much longer as a result. You probably have noticed it is incredibly easy to scrape dents and wells into that Light My Fire rod, and that's because the rod is about as soft as they come. But the result is that you can flick sparks off of it with ease.
If you have confidence with your ferrorod technique, or are ready for a better challenge, it is absolutely time to graduate to one of the harder rods. You get more mileage out of them, and you can actually use them in more different ways than the softer rods. I bought two of these last year, and I have been a very happy customer. They will undoubtedly last me for many, many years.
I got an Everstryke Pro a couple of months ago, and I love it. It's very compact and has a seal so the fuel doesn't evaporate. It is basically a tiny zippo.
I keep mine on my keychain. https://imgur.com/jfrDtGj
Pretty standard stuff but the details depend on weather and what I plan on doing (if I'll be spending time working on bushcraft, fishing, or if I'll be hiking or portaging long distances). One thing I strongly recommend is a pocket bellows. You should be able to make one with an old collapsible antenna (although I prefer the one I bought because of the width) but these things are incredible at helping get a fire going, keeping a fire going, or starting up the fire from last night again in the morning.
https://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP103-Filtration-System/dp/B00MPH1LEU
buy one of these
and this https://www.amazon.com/Survival-Magnesium-Starter-Compass-Whistle/dp/B016UWWS2O/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1503134173&sr=1-3&keywords=flint+and+steel
that should buy you about 30 days if you don't get murdered when shit hits the fan
wet fire
At first I was like, damn, thats a lot of money for a firesteel. I bought decent ones for $8 that work great. But then I saw the pic of the guy holding it. Shit, that is huge. I may have to get me one of those. Go with a two pack, different brand and no lanyard, but the reviews are just as good.
Thanks!
I went with this one:

Thanks to whoever recommended it here on /r/Bushcraft. :)
I'd go Saw instead of Axe, less exersion/calorie use, better cuts.
Dump the gill net, in the case of season 3, your inland, not on the ocean, if you don't get lucky enough to get a stream on your site you wasted one of your 10. If you are lucky and get a stream, building fish traps is easy.
Maybe Bow, but only if your skilled in it's use
Definately cordage should be added, there are too many things that you can do with it.
Here is the list of what I would bring...
1, 100 Yard 30lb test (Additional Cordage, Snare wire)
2, 100 yard 20lb test (Additional Cordage, or use as heavy line)
3, 100 yard 15 lb test (for actual fishing)
for the 25 hooks, get the "red" colored hooks [Here is why] as they may be a built in attractant, a bonus within the rules is a bonus...
My Start
Day 1, job 1: temp shelter and fire building Prep for first night... NOTE! If in an area of Large Predators (Boar, Big Cat, Bears, etc) First order of Business Make a Boar Spear! 8 feet long, and mount a cross bar about a foot down (Boar Spear, else they will climb the spear torwards you)
Day 2, water production and evaluate the site, dig into a little of the rations for food for the day. Plan out the permant camp (if located), fishing/food prep/trapping areas, Freshwater sources. Try to make the permant cam centrally located between food and water, but away from food prep area and possible larger predator areas.
Day 3, Water Production, Hunting gathering morning, Camp building after noon. Food prep and bed.. Basically I'll follow the rule of 3s mostly (3 minutes air, 3 hours exposure, 3 days water, 3 weeks food) everything has it's priority, Shelter fire 1st, water 2nd, food last, beyond that is comfort to survive and thrive in the situation.
Thats pretty cool... I have one a lighter similar to THIS and it works great. I have probably had it close to a year and put fluid it in twice. Just another option.
My coworker found a 5 pack of knockoffs for 10 bucks on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/ETOPSTECH-Shopping-Lighter-Waterpoof-Keychain/dp/B00JTULKI8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=everstryke&qid=1555097390&s=gateway&sr=8-1
I might grab this and see if I like it.
If that's not an issue, then I recommend this one. It's big, but not to big. It throws showers of sparks with 1 strike. The striker isn't to big and it isn't to small. The lanyard is dogshit, so I'd replace it with paracord if you can.
My favorite part about this thing is how long it is. If you move just slow enough with the striker, sparks will come off this thing like a sparkler on the 4th of July. If you can pull that off the right way, you only gotta strike it once, you get a crazy amount of sparks, and you extend the life of the rod dramatically by doing that.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QM4N11I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I absolutely love this thing.
I carry one of these ferro rods from Amazon on a lanyard. I like the ease of using a bigger rod (insert that's what she said joke here).
If you want a laugh, my review is here.
I recently bought a pair of tiny "peanut" lighters ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ622O3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CW5fzbPQERPMY ). I now carry one alongside my small Style CS multitool. If they can make the same thing into working mini-lighter cufflinks, surely a tiny bit of fire could fit into a slightly larger multitool. Not sure how much mass-appeal it would have…
Edit: Oops… just saw the thread is two months old 😆
ive been using this pocket bellows to get fires cranking fast and minimize the smoking stage. Also, I almost never collect enough kindling; it's such a chore. This allows me to get a hot fire going with very little tinder, or just newspaper.

Fun, thanks for hosting the scavenger hunt!
Edit: Finished! I love scavenger hunts; it always reminds me what a weirdo I am.
There are a lot of really cool camping things! I'll be back to edit this post on my computer with some things that we like / are unique /cool
EDIT - these are things that we use that we love. These things all range in price, so hopefully you can find one or two to fit whatever budget you have.
Other general items that are useful: Climbing/heavy duty carabiners (to clip stuff to other stuff. you can even get locking ones); water filters (if you get a Lifestraw, I recommend the water bottle. The actual Lifestraw is an interesting idea, but we've found in practice it's a little awkward); hammocks with nice straps; base layers; battery-operated lights of any kind (especially ones that clip or are hands-free); a set of waterproof cards (to pass the time on a break); nice, wicking socks; hiking poles; a camping knife.
I haven't tried Cairn (the camping sub box) but they always look interesting.
Some things I forgot to put on the list that would be useful:
If she needs to make a fire, a [small lighter] (http://www.amazon.com/Scorch-Torch-Ambassador-Cigarette-Adjustment/dp/B00G9GUESC) might come in handy. It might need [butane gas] (http://www.amazon.com/GasOne-Quintuple-refined-Premium-Lighter/dp/B00BRYD8PC/), but one can should last long enough to get a good safehouse going with plenty of tinder to use with a [firestarter] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Survival-Technologies-SparkForce-Flint/dp/B00F73BO7S) instead.
To keep tabs on the smaller items when they're in that crate, you might put them into a new production .50 cal ammo box. It can store a lot and will easily survive rough handling, and if you ever need a sturdy waterproof container for whatever reason (camping, etc), it's a good storage solution if you're willing to put up with the weight.
It would be pretty neat if you used a wooden crate that she had to pry open with a crowbar; would feel very survivor-esque.
Now, this last part is totally optional since everything else would be kickass, but it could be an idea.
If you're ever played L4D, there's a gun that looks like a Mini-14; it's referred to as the 'Hunting Rifle' and is preferentially used by Zoey.
I'm not saying for you to actually buy a Mini-14 Ranch Rifle or a Ruger 10/22, but if you bought a [Crosman 1077] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Crosman_1077_Combo/1742), a [few clips] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_413_12_Rd_Pellet_Clips_Fits_1077_NightStalker_3_Pack/466), and [two magazines] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_1077_Air_Rifle_Magazine/2411), it'd probably be super cool, and practical, because then you could teach her how to actually shoot, and eventually she might pick up a Ruger 10/22 or Mini-14 down the line on her own.
Obviously this would have to be accompanied by proper instruction (four rules of gun safety, always respect the gun as something potentially deadly, follow through with your shot, etc; if you want to get the 1077 but personally don't know how to shoot, first brush up on the manual, which comes with some basic marksmanship information, and then take a class in rifle shooting), but it would certainly be neat and a cool thing to look forward to.
Oh, and you'd also want [pellets] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/p/RWS_Hobby_177_Cal_7_0_Grains_Wadcutter_500ct/220), [O-ring oil, to be applied on each CO2 cylinder before use] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Crosman_Pellgun_oil/222), [pellet trap to put targets on] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Leapers_UTG_Accushot_Pellet_BB_Trap_Ballistic_Curtains_Paper_Targets_Steel_Backer/3567), [eye protection for you, her, and anyone else who might want to try her new rifle out or watch] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Venturi_Safety_Glasses_Clear_Anti_Fog_Lenses_Adjustable/4515), and a [case] (http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Plano_Rifle_Case_Single_Scoped/593). You can pick up the case, pellets (look for .177 wadcutter), and CO2 Powerlets at a local sporting goods store if the price is competitive.
very usefull, five$ item, 2$ item. Thanks for the contest more caffeine
Fire Baby Fire
I love cheap
Yep that's the one I use. Huge and inexpensive - think they are still 8 dollars. I use a bit of gorilla duct tape around the end for some grip.
There is also another one that has a hole for a lanyard for a couple bucks more - but if you have a vice and a drill you can put a hole in this one easy enough to run some paracord through.
This is the firesteel
I've seen a lot of comments on fuel choices and stacking, and that's all very important. But don't forget oxygen!
Blowing on a fire can take an ember into big flames very quickly. I recently bought a bellows on amazon, it looks a lot like a collapsible antenna but is about twice as fat. It did a great job of 1) keeping my face away from the flames and 2) focusing my breath into a really strong column of air. It's going on my short list of must haves for every camping trip.
Edit: I used a Pocket Bellows: Epiphany Outdoor Gear Pocket... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LDSW5BA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share This was also easy to get the fire re-lit the next morning. It looked dead, but a few puffs from the bellows and a flame popped right back up in the coals. We put new logs on top and cooked some eggs!
I do these for myself. The good news, they are cheap and easy to make, I'm going to link to the various rods I have used so far here, the 4.5mmx75mm, the 8mmx80mm and finally the big one, 12.7mmx127mm. All of these rods have performed well for me, I personally prefer the larger diameter, although the 8mm might push it a bit. I have some 6.5mmx75mm rods on order, expecting to see them in the new year.
The next part is a bit of antler. For these, I picked up a bag of antler tips off of Etsy, I think the bag of 50 tips was less than $20 shipped. So right around $2 to make the 8mm size.
I did these a little different, and tapped them both the antler and the fero rod. I recommend that if you have a tap and die of the right size. I used JB Weld on these, and am happy with the results, any good 2 part epoxy should give you a good bond.
One of the things I like about this hobby is being able to make good equipment, if you decide to try, don't hesitate to ask questions, I'll answer the best I can.
I bought mine local (and I only have one - open flame is more versatile.. so I also carry a lighter and waterproof/windproof matches). If you dont want to use amazon or firesteel.com then Id say check your local shops - even Walmart carried some sort of ferro rod the last time I was there. But i mean, this is cheap enough a good sized/reviewed ferro rod:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QM4N11I
Just guessing because it's on a lanyard / necklace and the 90-degree edge is worn, someone has been using this as a striker for a ferro rod:
https://www.amazon.com/Schrade-SCHFS1-Striker-Survival-Everyday/dp/B00IA933MU
Try this at home kids.
I was wrong, its $7.95.
1 BEST Fire Starter - SurvivalSPARK Emergency Magnesium Fire Starter - Survival Fire Starter with Compass and Whistle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016UWWS2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_F7AkxbFCYCNJM
Have a look at this. It's basically a collapsible lung operated version of the same thing that is inexpensive and invaluable. I first saw it on the Outdoor Gear Review on Youtube. It kicks ass.
Epiphany Pocket Bellows:
https://www.amazon.com/Epiphany-Outdoor-Gear-Pocket-Collapsible/dp/B00LDSW5BA
That's normal.
Peanut lighters are like zippo with an o-ring seal and last a long longer. But it's less convenient to need to screw the cap off every time.
https://www.amazon.com/EDC-Waterproof-Lighter-Emergency-ring/dp/B01MZ622O3/
Crap like this:
https://www.amazon.com/ETOPSTECH-Shopping-Lighter-Waterpoof-Keychain/dp/B00JTULKI8
They're all extremely cheap and dangerous.
They're both things you can get at just about any sporting goods store. The one I got my friend was a Nitecore, you can find it here on Amazon.
If you want to go for economy, here's a combo magnesium fire starter and compass with a whistle. If you prefer, you can get a magnesium fire starter separately, they don't cost much.
Nobody who's going to be travelling off the beaten path anywhere should ever be without either of these things.
I recommend This One! Been using it for years
So, I got two kinds:
One of these (not a 5-pack, but couldn't find the original): Etopstech 5 Pcs Emergency Survival Camping Fire Starter, Flint Metal Match, Lighter for Outdoor,Lighter Fluid Permanent Matchbox, Forever Lighter Set, Keychain Unlimited Portable Waterproof https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MEA746W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8rGXDbFKCPV82
And one of these: True Utility Fire Stash Multi-Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZRWJVGA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZpGXDbYB0M75V
The first one sucks. It fell apart when I pulled it out of the package because the glue used to hold it to the packaging was stronger than the glue that held the metal shell to the plastic body 🤦♂️ The wick also burned down after one light. NOT recommended! The second one is really cool. For about $2 more, it's basically a mini Zippo, but sealed better so the fluid doesn't evaporate! And it comes with a general use waterproof case. Can't beat it!
Add This To Become a Trail Hero
One alternative that could help you get around the brittleness problem would be to forge/file a hard edge onto part of the brooch (not sharpened like a knife), and incorporate something like this, maybe attached with leather or something. That way you could still use the brooch to start a fire, but won't risk it breaking.
Cheap and reliable is best for fire.
Even more important when you need fire, sometimes you need it NOW! and delays, dead batteries etc are not okay.
The only thing the above video fails to do is use a double boiler so what you want is to make a "cup" or the like with some tinfoil, put the wax in that, then set the cup into a pot of boiling water. In this way clean up is a breeze, whatever wax you don't use you can just wait to cool and harden and throw away with the tin foil.
These "magic biscuits" style fire starters will stay dry forever, and you can "crack" them in half to expose cotton fibers for things like flint and steel starters or the focus point of your Fresnel lens, or a match. etc.
Make use of the small fire you do start.
Made in america version for $12 from amazon.
Absolute cheapest version $4
Skills
Fire is great. You don't need to go out int he pouring rain to start a fire, but doing so once in a while will help. Same with the wind. Mostly you need to know how to build a stack of wood so that stuff burns. There are many ways to do this.
Fire cups!
