This isn't your average lighter. It's a serious, reliable survival fire starter that works when everything else fails – in rain, wind, or snow. The core is a magnesium ferrocerium rod. When you scrape the included steel striker down it, it throws off super-hot sparks (up to 5500°F!) that can ignite your tinder even in wet conditions. The rod is attached to a handle that packs more gear: there's a loud emergency whistle to signal for help, a built-in compass for basic navigation, and a paracord lanyard. The striker itself has a hex wrench edge and a ruler. Everything is compact, waterproof, and built to last for thousands of strikes. It's the kind of tool you hope you never *need*, but you'll be incredibly glad to have in your backpack, bug-out bag, or glove box if you get lost or stranded outdoors. Perfect for campers, hikers, hunters, and preppers. Practice using it at home before you need it in an emergency!
