Yeah that's the one
Re: BG fire starter
Yes I have one.
Its quite big and bulky compared with most fire steels and I don't really think it is any better than most other fire steels.

I have several makes and sizes of Ferro rods, you might also look at one of these:

Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Early this year I picked up a 'summit' brand fire steel and striker in the Range for £1.99 could buy 5 for the same price as the Gerber one.

Re: BG fire starter
Has anyone tried using the flint/wheel from an empty cigarette lighter? Post-SHTF there should be plenty of those around.
I'll have a fiddle...

Yep, the BIC versions allow you to add a new flint too.cpslashm wrote:Has anyone tried using the flint/wheel from an empty cigarette lighter? Post-SHTF there should be plenty of those around.
