KH stopped by with my kit tonight and I made FIRE!!! He wouldn't let me get naked to celebrate but he was afraid! ::)
JW_Halverson:
KH sent me one of his trial strikers and I went straight to the rock he is now working on in the pic above. The sparks I struck burned hot all the way to the ground and bounced! You could hear them snapping and sizzling as they fell...a sure sign that the steel was good and hard. I have littered the West with low grade strikers that I have bought/traded for/won. If they aren't top notch stuff I drop 'em where I stand because when I need a striker, I NEED A FIRE NOW!
I carry a striker and kit as part of my "four ways to fire" section of my bug-out bag. Waterproof matches, zippo lighter, butane lighter, and flint and steel. Oh, and a bag of Fritos...cuz they will burn like heck! Kevin's striker is now my #1 striker, it beat out the 4 others I consider good enough to keep.
Good work, cuz'. Seriously good.
