A Flint & Steel Kit that has everything you need to start a campfire. Packed in a 16 oz. carrying tin. Once you try this striker, you will never go back to matches. Includes instructions.

Ever wanted to learn how to start a fire by rubbing two sticks together? It's easier than you might expect, especially if you have a well-made set to begin with. Ultimately we hope you will learn how to make your own bow drill sets, but you can start by practicing with ours until you get a feel for the proper materials and design.
A fire is created by rapidly spinning the dowel-like "spindle" back and forth in a hole in a fireboard below it. Downward pressure and speed grinds wood powder from the two wood surfaces while generating intense heat. A notch in the fireboard allows the wood powder to collect at one point, where it gets hot, then smolders and glows red. Then the glowing coal is transferred to a "tinder bundle", basically a wad of soft, dry, fibrous material shaped like a bird's nest, and blown into flame.
