Fire Steel Fire Starter

[AxeAngel]

Its not as long and as thick as the ones I usually buy. But for this price, you could buy several to keep everywhere.

I've got a couple like that.

Besides as an emergency device, they are great for lighting your Coleman :victory:

That style works pretty well. I can't seem to create as many sparks as I can with a Blast Match though. But I like using this style better. My Blast Match launches the fire steel right out the end...very frustrating.

Agreed, thats the type I have along with a MAG bar. But for $3 having another few handy cant hurt.
