Description
Channel your inner caveman. Use small spark, make big fire, ugh. Scrape a knife or the included striker down the length of the FireSteel rod to release a massive a shower of 5400°F sparks. No worries about damp matches or a lighter running out of fluid. If you can’t start a fire with this tool…well, then you probably shouldn’t be playing with fire anyway. Timeless back-to-basics fire starting tool works even when the conditions are wet and cold to ignite a stove, paper, dry grass or any dry tinder. Twenty years from now it will still work perfectly, too. Firesteel is 3.5”x1”x.75”, metal striker is 2.75”x1”. The lanyard measures 7” long for easy carrying or securing to a garment, bag or other gear.

TSA signage says ‘no matches, no Bic lighters, no ____ of any kind’ with a cute row of about ten ‘prohibited:’ icons. But flint & steel sets aren’t shown. And now you know what’s in my carry-on…
