Another Flint & Steel Kit
When I was having a problem with the Black Bear Haversack Trading Post flint & steel kit, I ordered another one from eBay. This time I chose the Hudson Bay Flint & Steel kit from Primal Connection.
Just like the Bear Haversack kit, this one also contains a jute twine, char cloth, flint and steel.
The steel has more striking area than the Black Bear steel.
The flint is about the same as that of the Black Bear kit.
The similarities end there. The Hudson Bay steel throws more sparks than the Black Bear steel. The steel almost never miss to produce sparks when stroked against the flint. Definitely an excellent flint & steel kit. Highly recommended. By the way, its almost 5 times more expensive though.
