    Although I've used steel wool in the past to make fire, why not just buy a lighter and put it your kit?

    Being a smoker I have at least 4 lighters that I know of spead across my kit, plus whatever waterproof matches that are issued in a ration pack.

    This is the first I've ever seen of Firesteel (tm) Looking at the cost of it I doubt its gonna break the bank for you, give it a lash I suppose, but tbh flint and tinder or WP Matches and a bit of cotton wool still work for me.

    Zippo, and a clipper. Non Smoker(4 years now) ;) I kept a steel and a tampon in a kit as a last resort.

    If in doubt borrow a match and some petrol from your Sgt....three, two, one!
