If you need a fire in an emergency then you need a Firesteel you can trust 100%, and this is it my friends. I speak through personal experience. I have had my Firesteel for 3 years and it’s still going strong despite 100′s of fires being lit by it using many different tinders, natural and man-made! (I lit a fire using a cramp ball fungus with it!) When it eventually wears out I will be buying another one. This is Ray Mears personal preference for a Firesteel (say no more!) and he states this in his excellent book “Essential Bushcraft” along with an identical photograph of it! Anyone who down rates this awesome, essential piece of outdoor equipment is obviously not using it right, or Mr Mears and myself are wrong, I”ll let you decide. It’s also under a tenner so if you’re on a tight budget, Happy days! Enjoy!
Not much to say, starts fires and creates high temperature sparks like it promises, I didn’t give the fifth and final star because it can take a while in difficult circumstances but will eventually get the job done.
If you need to light fires, stoves or other outdoor flames this is for you.
It’s waterproof, easy to carry and has no batteries to go flat. Easy to get the hang of striking and produces a complete shower of sparks, suitable for lighting dry shredded paper, leaves or other tinder. For gas, meths or similar just strike through the fuel vapour over the burner.
When mine eventually wears out (each strike uses a tiny bit of material) I’ll certainly get another.
When you stay in an outdoor space, with real harsh environment, and you fall down in a river/lake/wet-land, all normal lighters stop their functionality. With this beautiful object, you recover a real important situation: the possibility to ignite a fire. When you understand the (simple) actions you have to make to generate a beautiful spark, without electricity or others, you will be very happy !
You can feel like the captain of fire !!!
It is important to have very dry objects under the spark! Also paper you can ignite.
The product was of a fine quality and did the job, however, the name of the product and the picture displayed weren’t the same as the product that arrived. The name and the picture need to be changed.
