You've seen lots of fires made by the survival guys on cable TV using a couple sticks, a boot string, two blistered hands, and a spare half-hour or two of work, but if you're really in a spot out there, you need a quick, no-nonsense way of starting a fire with minimal time and effort. Lighters are handy, but what if it gets wet? What if there's strong winds? What if you run out of lighter fluid? Fire is critical in a emergency situation and a great source of comfort in any condition. With a Light My Fire Swedish Firesteel Scout, you can easily and reliably generate 3,000 degrees C sparks that shower your gathered tinder and twigs to reliably start a fire, dry or wet, at any altitude. The design is as simple as it can be, a thick cylinder of sparking rod and a plastic knob at the end to safely and securely hold on to, and a striker lanyarded to the handle so you can't lose it. This model is slightly smaller than the Army Model Firesteel but comes with a waterproof tin of easy-starting tinder to get your fire going when the available tinder is soaked or hard to find.
Based in Sweden, Light My Fire specializes in outdoor accessories that are as practical in the city as they are in the wild. From making fires to eating meals - our products have been taken to heart all over the world by both the backyard and the backwoods survivalist.
