(Natural News) When the power grid goes down, or you’ve had to evacuate your home due to storms, fires or floods, you need a way to boil water and cook emergency meals without using electricity.
The answer is to use a camp stove (outdoors) that allows you to boil water. From here, you can make pasta, tea, soup, etc. Or you can use the flame to scramble eggs or cook potatoes, for example.
But how do you start a fire for your camp stove if you don’t have a lighter? Emergency magnesium fire starters are popular, but very few people know how to use them. (They own them but have never used them.)
In addition, using magnesium to initiate a fire with leaves, twigs or grass is very difficult. So in this latest PrepWithMike video, available at PrepWithMike.com, you’ll learn how to make your own emergency fire starters using cotton balls and petroleum jelly that help you get an emergency fire going for survival / off grid purposes (obey all fire safety rules and regulations, see below, don’t be the idiot who starts a wildfire…).
With these items in hand, you can easily start a small fire with a magnesium fire starter, then use grass, leaves, pine cones or other small items to get a small camp fire going (or use a rocket stove).
As a safety note, given the extreme fire hazard conditions now present in Western states, obviously take every precaution to limit the size of your fire and control the flames. Don’t be the idiot who sets fire to another 50,000 acres like recently happened with a California “gender reveal” party gone bad…
It’s always a good idea to have a bucket of water nearby in case you need to extinguish flames, and never leave fires unattended. Even in this video, you can see I had a fully charged fire extinguisher handy:

This video was filmed before the recent wildfires went crazy, by the way, and the entire focus of this video is for emergency survival and preparedness / off grid cooking.

About the author: Mike Adams (aka the “Health Ranger“) is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called “Food Forensics“), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics. Follow his videos, podcasts, websites and science projects at the links below.
Mike Adams serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation. He has also achieved numerous laboratory breakthroughs in the programming of automated liquid handling robots for sample preparation and external standards prep.
The U.S. patent office has awarded Mike Adams patent NO. US 9526751 B2 for the invention of “Cesium Eliminator,” a lifesaving invention that removes up to 95% of radioactive cesium from the human digestive tract. Adams has pledged to donate full patent licensing rights to any state or national government that needs to manufacture the product to save human lives in the aftermath of a nuclear accident, disaster, act of war or act of terrorism. He has also stockpiled 10,000 kg of raw material to manufacture Cesium Eliminator in a Texas warehouse, and plans to donate the finished product to help save lives in Texas when the next nuclear event occurs. No independent scientist in the world has done more research on the removal of radioactive elements from the human digestive tract.
Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and American Indians. He is of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his “Health Ranger” passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.
Adams is the author of the world’s first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.
With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
