Stay Warm Outdoors With The Zippo Emergency Fire Starter
Fire is indispensable, especially when you’re enjoying the splendor of the great outdoors. Being in high-altitude in the middle of the woods is one thing; doing it without warmth is a whole other. That’s why arming yourself with the Zippo Emergency Fire Starter Kit should be a prerequisite before donning the hiking boots.
Just because you learned how to start a fire from scratch in wilderness class doesn’t mean you are going to successfully start one the next time you try. I’ve watched enough Survivor episodes to know even seasoned outdoorsmen can’t make a fire that fast, unless you shoot flames from your hands. With this instant-fire kit on hand, you can save all that energy for another day. After all, you will likely need all that strength for wrestling wild bears, climbing steep rocks and carrying your portable DVD boombox for tomorrow’s itinerary.

Tool Logic Survival Card: Wilderness Kit In Your Wallet
Like a Swiss Knife in a flatter, sleeker frame, the Tool Logic Survival Card packs lifesaving features that you’re guaranteed to find handy anytime you’re in the woods. Unlike a bulky Victorinox piece, however, it fits snugly in your wallet, so you can take it with you all day – ready for those once-in-a-lifetime moments when you get drunk and wake up in the middle of nowhere.

Weighing less than two ounces, it packs an impressive set of tools. You get a 2-inch [...]
Light Your Baby’s Fire
It would be nice if we could light instantly fires by rubbing two sticks together like in the movies. Think of the girls looking for that “Grizzly Adams” type of guy. Unfortunately, the reality is that it takes hours and hours of – sometimes fruitless – rubbing to create the sort of friction you’d need to create a fire. Even with a stone and flint, you’ll need some serious skills to get that blaze a-crackling. And if it’s raining – fuggah about it, man!
However your worries are over because straight from the halls of the Swedish Department of Defense is the Swedish Firesteel This is one gadget any outdoorsman can’t live without as it will create a spark that approaches 3,000 degrees celsius that will allow you to start a fire, no matter what the weather.
The Firesteel works by moving a blade across the Firesteel base, and will create a [...]
