Simple Fire Kit

BASIC FIRE KIT


Assuming some source of wood around.

Just two comments.....

My best current and ever ferro rod was a big Light-my-Fire I bought many years ago....it feels soft and throws mega sparks. The small ones I've found to be utterly useless for anything except scaring a pet or mildly entertaining kids   Try it if you haven't.

When I still smoked I used Clippers lighters almost exclusively, for a kit I would stick with BIC

I am familiar with the Army model and the Scout model. I use the Army model. Is there a larger one? Perhaps it just looks small in the photo. The Scout model felt too small in my hands, and for the price difference many more strikes were promised. And I must say, at risk of sounding like a free advert, the Army model does strike well in wet weather

Checked on the site and it seems they only have the FireSteel 2.0 now?

The one I mentioned is about half as thick and useless.......except obviously for lighting gas equipment......as the pic on their site shows.

I had to really think back, close as I could remember I bought my original LMF ferro rod mid-90's.......it's thinker and longer than the standard Coughlan's ferro rod and throws massive sparks
