- a sparking rod removably mounted within the first slot, wherein the sparking rod is configured to produce sparks when scratched with the scratcher;
- and
- at least one fuel reservoir removably mounted over the sparking rod and the scratcher, wherein the at least one fuel reservoir has a fibrous material with a fuel hermetically sealed in a packing;
- wherein the fuel is selected from a mixture of petroleum jelly and beeswax that produces flexibility in the resulting fuel and maintains structural integrity without breaking and fissuring.

- retrieving a fire starter kit from a handle of a firearm by pulling a frame of the fire starter kit;
- dismantling the fire starter kit;
- fixing a sparking rod in a first slot of the frame;
- exposing fibrous material of at least one fuel reservoir by twisting or cutting the fuel reservoir;
- wherein the at least one fuel reservoir includes a fuel hermetically sealed in a packing;
- wherein the fuel is selected from a mixture of petroleum jelly and beeswax that produces flexibility in the resulting fuel and maintains structural integrity without breaking and fissuring;
- holding the frame fitted with the sparking road in front of the exposed fibrous material of the reservoir;
- and
- creating a spark by scratching the sparking rod with a scratcher of sufficient temperature to ignite the fibrous material.
