Light My Fire Firesteel Bio Army

Rugged, high quality fire striker set.

The original, now with handles made in an environmentally friendly way. Developed for the Swedish Department of Defense to work year-round, from scorching heat to blistering cold, regardless of snow, rain and wind. When the last match is soaked to the core, the FireSteel will just keep going. By scraping sparks off the steel you can set fire to birch bark, other dry tinder or, for example, a camping stove. Army model: thicker for a longer service life Lasts approx. 12 000 strikes (the Scout model lasts approx. 3 000) Works regardless of temperature, wind and moisture Great using comfort thanks to plastic handles made of 96% bio based plastic Integrated safety whistle Carrying pouch included Made in Sweden It’s a good idea to practice using your fire steel regularly.

I’ts not a bad idea to carry a patch or two of birch bark in a zip lock bag…
