Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, the Light My Fire Swedish FireSteel is a flash of genius. Its 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by a number of armies around the world, the Swedish FireSteels dependability has already made it a firm favorite of survival and bushcraft experts, hunters, fishermen and campers the world over.

   I never realised the impact on firestarting of the temperature of the sparks. A few strikes from this little lifesaver and regular tinder is alight whereas my old flint would have left me striking and striking for a long time.

   So cheap its hard not to justify in any kit bag.

   Started off using a flint and magnesium and was shocked at the rate the flint wore down. This fire steel is just amazing, the quantity of sparks it produces are far superior than that of the flint. I also ordered a tub of MayaDust to use as lighting tinder, however, don’t waste your money. The best thing I have found to use is my wife’s cotton wool pads. All you need is one pad, which takes the spark first time, every time.
