Firesteel

Fire is one of the basic essentials in a survival situation. You can cook your food with fire, purify water, make weapons, protect you from wild animals, signal for help and most of all provide you with light and warmth. Survival experts suggests that you carry at least three ways of making fire. What fire making tools to carry is an individual's choice - and there are a lot to chose from. For me, it would be a match, a lighter and a firesteel.


Light My Fire Firesteel. Very expensive, I hesitate to use it.


LMF Army, Scout and Mini Firesteel.


Made in China Firesteel, $2.99 each, the one included in my EDC below.


An unused made in China firesteel side by side with the one in my EDC. The one in my EDC has been used maybe a hundred times. It gives a lot of sparks, works well so far. Maybe not as good as the expensive firesteels but it serves its purpose at a lesser cost.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
