The Ultimate Fire Starter from Vargo has everything you need to start, grow, and maintain a roaring fire—just add fuel. First, unscrew the ferrocerium rod from the bellows and use the integrated scraper to ignite your tinder Read More
This looked like a good idea, but then I found this - so I can keep using my cheap but better ferro rod. I know others who have bought these and they are good.
1st time on Massdrop for me to do this, but this is an unnecessarily heavy....@#*(@## item. Regret buying it. This instead --> https://pocketbellows.com/
ZionHikes1I don't get it, the 3-piece fire starting kit (which is most closely compares to this) that you linked to is heavier than this item...and looks cheap.
I bought one of these about a year ago. I haven't used it yet; however, last May while hiking the AT through the Smokies, and 3 consecutive days of serious rain, I loaned it to some thru hikers who were trying to get a fire going at the Mt. Collins shelter. Dry wood was scarce so I also loaned them my 15" Swen folding saw, and between the two, they managed a very nice fire late into the evening. They really liked the Fire Starter (and the saw), and at 1.8 oz , were very interested in obtaining one also. I would have given them mine but still had 4 days left on the trail myself and the weather forecast was dismal (it rained 3 more days in a row before subsiding on the last day). I am purchasing another for a friend who is finishing the last 500 miles of his AT section hike in June. I highly recommend this product.
