How to choose a fire starter?

Choosing a good fire starter for survival or any other outdoor activity means, above all, opting for a quality tool. It's one of the most essential everyday emergency accessories, and it should not only be durable, but also very practical. For example, you can choose this compact flint-based fire starter in a solid orange ABS case. To use it, simply open it and rub the bar in the direction of the chips or tinder to get flames. Made of steel or ABS plastic or with a magnesium bar, a fire starter will not deform even at high temperatures.

The main reason for buying a fire starter is to make it easier to light a fire. It would therefore make sense to choose a model that makes it easier to start a fire. Most of the time, you can use a fire starter by rubbing the two elements that make it up. However, with an automatic fire starter, you can light it with one hand. With storm matches, their extra-long heads burn as long as possible, allowing you to make a fire despite extreme weather conditions.

The importance of having a fire starter

When you know that fire is indispensable in everyday life and even more so in the case of survival, the question of why you should choose a fire starter is no longer relevant. However, if you are not yet convinced of the usefulness of such a tool, take the time to imagine a day without fire and without heating in a normal day. It is sure to be an unbearable day. If you want to survive and adapt to the various hazards of life, you will need all the necessary tools, including a fire starter, even if you already have fuel.

In a survival situation or during outdoor activities, the fire starter is an even more practical system for lighting a fire, even in the most difficult moments. This tool, whatever the model, has been designed to resist water and wind. This makes it a very useful accessory and a reliable tool. Whether you choose matches or a flint, it only burns with the intervention of its user. You can carry them safely in your bivouac bags or in your pockets. Besides, a fire starter is a light, compact and small tool that can be kept in a corner of your bag or pocket. For maximum protection during transport, especially with matches, you can opt for a waterproof case or a waterproof matchbox.

The use of a fire starter is not limited to precarious survival situations. You can also use them in your home on a daily basis. You can use it to light a fire in your fireplace or to light your gas stove or barbecue. This makes it a multi-purpose tool. Before buying your fire starter, however, don't forget to consider the quality/price ratio of the product, as well as its ability to meet all your expectations.

To conclude

Whether you are a hiking enthusiast or a survivalist or a wilderness traveller, consider the various advantages of a fire starter. Thanks to the quick and easy lighting method of such a tool, you will certainly find it very easy to light a large fire. The fire starter is also very light and easy to carry. The bright orange colour of some models means you won't lose sight of them, even if they accidentally end up in the brush. What's more, it also presents itself as an environmentally friendly tool. Instead of wasting kindling and time rubbing for sparks, the fire starter will get you a good fire quickly, whatever your needs.
