Light My Fire Swedish FireSteel BIO Scout 2in1 Lighter Blue

The Light My Fire Swedish FireSteel BIO scout 2in1 lighter is strong, durable and fit for purpose. Developed for the military, it meets the highest standards. 3.000 strokes at 3,000 degrees make it possible to light the fire in any weather and at any altitude. Ergonomic design and built-in whistle, nothing but the best.

The Swedish FireSteel fire starter consists of two basic parts: the rod and the firing pin. The rod is made of a high quality pyrophoric alloy containing metals such as iron, magnesium, lanthanum and cerium. The firing pin is made of stainless steel and has a precise cutting edge developed to produce maximum spark. As the firing pin scrapes against the rod, the friction ignites small metal shavings, turning them into oxides and generating bright sparks at high temperature.

The notable difference between the Swedish FireSteel fire starter and similar friction-based fire starters, often referred to as ferrocerium rods, is the alloy’s proprietary hardening process, which produces a high-quality material that achieves durability without sacrificing consistency.

How to start a Light My Fire?
1. Collect small sticks, bark and other types of firewood. The smaller the better, as they will be easier to light.

2. Place them in a small pile.

3. Take out your Swedish FireSteel or Swedish FireKnife, with a built-in FireSteel.

4. Use paper, birch bark or, ideally, get out your TinderSticks or Tinder-on-a-rope, made from cultivated Honduran pine, scrape up some shavings and place them among the firewood. With 80% resin, it is the optimum ignition fuel that will burn extremely hot and slow – and can also withstand moisture and water.

5. Build the fire carefully, first with small sticks and then gradually increasing their size. Make sure the fire has enough oxygen and be patient.
