      Comments about Light My Fire Scout Swedish Firesteel:

      Needed new one and found it is perfect gift/stocking stuffer for outdoors sportspersons. Good first fire starting tool for teaching youths to build survival fire. Way easier than magnesium bar. Have started fires in all weather conditions with this. Must have in survival kit.

        Comments about Light My Fire Scout Swedish Firesteel:

        This product just works if you know how to use it. My 11 year old daughter was able to get a fire started with just one attempt. This is possible if you know what to do. Get started with good tinder. The best I have found is a cotton ball with a small dab of petrolium jelly. This is a super light tinder and is fool proof. You can carry a weeks worth in a tiny ziplock bag!

          Comments about Light My Fire Scout Swedish Firesteel:

          Opened the package. Took a little lint from the dryer and walked outside. Grabbed a handful of damp hay and placed the lint on top. Struck the Light my fire towards the lint and on the second strike it exploded into flames. I repeated the same test using a little torn toilet tissue on top of the damp hay to make sure I wasn't dreaming. First strike the tissue exploded into flames. I you can't start a fire with this you shouldn't leave your house.

            I first tested this in the winter lighting my alcohol stove. After two sparks I was on my way to a hot meal! It sparks very easily and hasn't worn away too quickly. I love it and will always come back to this product for my lightweight fire starting needs!

                    I used on a couple of short backpacking trips for my alcohol stove. It puts out a good spark but you need to make sure you use the correct side of the steel. I have not tried wet.
