Review on All-In-One Flint And Steel Fire Starter Kit With Waterproof Tinder Wick Rope And Steel Fire Striker - Patented Firestarter Prepared4X - Perfect For Survival And Outdoor Activities by Dustin Marshall

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works but with two primary flaws.

This is a very cool and simple concept and had it not been for two flaws this was a five star item.The first issue is the striker that comes with it, good luck getting the rope lit with this thing. I was able to do it but it required a lot of energy and patience to finally get it lit. Only once was able to get it lit within ten strikes on the ferro rod. This can be solved by having a better striker on hand but it would have been nice if the one provided worked better.The second issue which irritated me even more was hemp rope inside the units tube. When you extinguish the flame you recess the rope back into the the cylinder which feeds the rope, recess it too far and you better have needle nose on hand or your in for an annoying time. Worse yet, try to feed a replacement rope and you will pull your hair out. This should have been made better.

Pros
  • Haven't tried it wet, but it works right out of the box.
Cons
  • Potential for damaging or burning of clothing or gear
