Light My Fire

Of all survival skills and techniques, 'fire making' is perhaps the most important.

Fire provides warmth and boosts flagging morale

Fire provides light – to see by and for to be seen by potential rescuers

Fire dries wet clothing & boots

Fire enables water and food purification

Fire cooks food

Fire tends to keep dangerous animals away

If you only practice one survival skill, practice and hone the ability to light a small fire for yourself in any climatic condition – practice makes perfect, so get out there now!!

Scandinavian company Light My Fire provide a range of fire-starting tools and equipment that have been refined and made near-perfect, they also make a range of utensils and equipment for making life outdoors just that little bit easier. Well thought-out and made equipment which we fully recommend:

Designed in Scandinavia this little tool brings a much needed element of civilisation to eating out-doors. Easy to keep clean, useful (because it’s good at everything it’s designed to be used for), colourful (so less easily lost) and at 9g very light, this is the ultimate in compact eating utensils. We use them al the time when eating meals, long enough to reach to the bottom of pre-prepared meal bags and handy for stirring outdoor-brews.

If you only carry one piece of emrgency kit, carry this one; this is a really well thought-out piece of kit – three essential survival aides: Locking blade, Fire Steel and Whistle all in one neat package. Well designed and very ruggedly made.

3.1”, locking, spear tip blade with smooth and serrated edge for a variety of tasks

In-built FireSteel

Emergency Whistle

Lanyard with Flourescent tip

Probably the best Firesteel available; impervious to weather the steel provides a ‘sheet’ of white-hot (5,500 degree F) sparks that will ignite yoru dry tinder immediately…..with a little practice! The Steel comes with a strong, no-nonsense, dark green plastic grip and will strike well off the steel striker blade provided or off the back edge of any quality knife. This version is good for around 12,000 ignitions, so it should keep you going for a while.
