Originally developed for the Swedish Department of Defense, Swedish FireSteel is a flash of
genius. Its nearly 3,000°C spark makes fire building easy in any weather, at any altitude. Used by
a number of armies around the world, Swedish FireSteel's dependability has already made it a
favorite of survival experts, hunters, fishermen and campers. It has also found its way into cabins
and backyards as a fool-proof way to light stoves and gas-barbecues. Amazingly enough it also
works equally well when wet.

A metal blade is slowly moved across the Firesteel, generating sparks that can easily be thrown
onto a small pile of dry grass, leaves or paper to start a fire. When the fire is becoming
established, thin sticks of wood can be added, gradually increasing to thicker ones.
