Fire lighting kit

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Ok guys tou've won me over  I'm getting a fire steel too,it's the way to go 

Your Kukri should have one mate

[Shane769]

When I bush it I carry just a Light My Fire firesteel with striker. And a film canister full of dryer lint. Starts fires pretty good.

[Nathan]

My fire lighting kit consists of a standard Light My Fire firesteel, a lighter and a box of matches. When I go camping, I add some extra stuff to it to make fire starting easier.

Looking forward to hearing how well the Chakmak works

[FredKJ]

Has anyone had experience using a fire piston?  I've thought about getting one. 

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

I have one. It's a fun fire toy but too fiddly for me to consider seriously. You have to worry about seals and lubrication...and fumbling about with a minuscule ember.

[american lockpicker]

I use a Made in Holland Cricket now.

I use one of the Doan Machinery magnesium blocks with a ferro rod in it.  Great little firelighter.  Airport security didn't like it much, until I pointed out to them I had nothing on me to strike it with, and then they didn't mind.

Light my fire ferro rods are another favourite.  Still haven't gotten one of the misch metal rods though

I've got 4 of the buggers

I have a mag block as well but it takes quite a while to scrape enough shaving.

The misch metal rods works well, but it's a pain to get them to work at first place.

[John]

Since y'all have fire steels I decided to go down that route  they work great dont they? 

Tho I don't much like the saw blade riding on my key or in my pocket    I need to get one of those small strikers the ones you see on the best fire steels,I bet I can't get one separate 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

The back of a sak saw works just as well

The Farmer's awl is an Awlsome ferro scraper...

Nope, we tried but we went for the awl in the end.

I'll see if I can find the vid.

I think the vid has been posted on here before

But there's no way I'm searching though all out threads to find it

[Benner]

Well here is that video;



But I do have one just before that.  Needs editing though. 

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

I didn't see any fire in that video 

[cgk]

And what language were they speaking, it was total gibberish.

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

I think it was Pirate...

Key words,"that was our fire!" 

water+fire=

That was a damn crappy day weather wise

Painful too

[Benner]

And we should really be doing another pot noodle day soon. 

[nuphoria]

There must be some new flavours for you to eat since that last escapade 

[Benner]

Yup, Doner Kebab flavour. 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

And we should really be doing another pot noodle day soon. 

Definitely mate

Certainly before it get's too cold

[rp252]

Come and do the pot noodle day over here!  Summer is just starting! 

And there is a huge amount of driftwood on the local beaches - perfect for fires.
