After rather mediocre experiences with other, cheaper fire starters, I decided to try this one because I remembered that a friend used it once, and it was a bullseye – the fire starter throws out large showers of sparks, which is exactly what I would expect when trying to start a fire in the rain, etc. etc. I highly recommend it.

The Light My Fire firestarter is one of those pieces of equipment that you simply should always have on you – and specifically the FireSteel 2.0 BioScout model made a very good impression on me. First of all, it's solidly made: the ferro rod is thick, produces stable sparks, and the whole thing fits well in the hand even with gloves or wet fingers. The bioplastic handle is slightly rough, which prevents it from slipping and allows for precise movement control. In terms of performance, it's excellent – the sparks are really hot and plentiful, easily igniting cotton wool, dry grass, kindling, or a properly prepared birch bark tinder. Compared to cheaper firestarters, the difference in spark quality is immediately noticeable. The serrated metal scraper also works surprisingly well, though it isn't strictly necessary – the firestarter also works with a knife edge. The whole set is lightweight and compact, fits easily in a pocket, pouch, waist pack, or hangs around your neck. The lanyard connecting both parts is strong and flexible enough. A nice bonus is the built-in whistle – it may not replace a professional signaling whistle, but in an emergency it provides a loud, clear sound. The Red color is highly visible, which helps if you drop the firestarter in the grass or among your gear. It's a reliable source of fire for camping, hiking, an emergency EDC kit or bushcraft. It simply always works as it should – and in the outdoors, that's what matters most. I recommend it 100%.

The fire starter sparks very well. I've used it several times already and there are no signs of wear. The sparks are large and you can quickly start a fire. Overall, I recommend the product. I am a beginner, but I had no problem lighting a fire.

Great fire starter – small, lightweight, and reliable. Ideal for camping, bushcraft, or an emergency EDC kit. The spark is really strong; it easily ignites tinder, cotton, or dry grass, even when it's damp. The bioplastic handle fits well in the hand, and the included whistle is a nice addition. After several uses, there is hardly any wear – you can see the rod is good quality. It's worth having it with you at all times because it works even when matches or lighters fail.
-
Simple to use and solid. Creating sparks is easy even for people who do not have much experience using a fire starter. It works well despite its compact size. A big plus is the eco-friendly handle material, which does not affect the quality of the product.
-
Very good firestarter, sparks strongly. The shaped grip makes it easy to light a campfire. Works great in wet conditions. I highly recommend this product.
-
Nice firestarter, handy, good price, you can throw it in a purse or backpack, nice color, sparks well, I am satisfied. The shaped handle makes it easy to hold with a wet hand or in a glove.
-
Not only the best at sparking on the market, but also light and compact. I definitely recommend this model, even a child can light a fire with it (using a makeup remover pad, of course).
-
Fantastic. It sparks like sparklers on a Christmas tree. Why do we need matches that can run out? Or a gas or electric lighter? Here is a simple metal device—just rub one piece against the other and you have fire. And who cares if it falls into the water? Just wait, it will dry out and work again. Light My Fire rules. Best value for money.
-
I have this fire starter and many other products from this brand. These are probably the best products on the market in this category. The fire starter sparks very nicely. I recommend this product and the store militaria.pl.

Hello everyone, For me, a firestarter is a firestarter, I bought this for the striker because it makes great sparks with any military firestarter. It’s worth buying just for the striker, because it doesn't wear out, and the included firestarter should last a year.
-
Light my Fire is the best company on the market for firestarters, there's no point kidding yourself and buying elsewhere; I tested a lot and only this one worked. I recommend!
-
Nice for everyday wear because it's small and light. The “racing” color helps locate the firestarter even if it falls to the ground. The whistle is also useful.
-
This is my second firestarter and I am very satisfied. Small, handy and the striker works great. Perfect for EDC.
