Lightning Strike Fire Starter

摘要

I have seen just about every survival gadget imaginable over the years, the worst being an overseas-manufactured plastic whistle that does about ten things-terribly. When it comes to survival gear, knives and fire-starters are two items whose quality should not be compromised, yet often is. I spent the better part of last year's Alaskan season using a ferrocerium-rod fire starter that pulled out of the handle it came with at the start of the trip. Luckily for me, I caught it right before it disappeared into the duff of the forest ground and became lost in the wild! I knew there had to be a better way to attach a ferrocerium rod to a handle that won't come loose and possibly disappear when I need it most.
