Hey TF, where did you get those? They are cool. :thumbup:

I EDC a BSA hot spark and one of my strikers under a piece of rubber on my PSK kydex sheath.

I EDC a peanut lighter. I check it often, usually each time I fire up the grill. But it doesn't loose any fuel, and I rarely use it. For most things that I've need it for, a firesteel wouldn't have worked.

But I "EDC" one when I'm doing anything hiking related.
 
I have a really tiny firesteel that I made on my keychain but I carry a lighter. Alot handier for lighting candles, melting the ends of rope, etc.
 
Confirmed firebug here. BSA Hot Spark and Peanut Lighter on keys. Mini (Hoods Woods) ferro rod in my wallet.

I have the LMF Mini firesteel which is a lot smaller than the scout and a peanut lighter. Like naked said, mine never seems to need refilling. I check everyday and it always gives a flame.
 
I carry this every day.

Thats the army model and a spyderco manix up on top of the tundra above the snowline in the rocky mountains.
 
I carry a bare rod (big one 10x100mm) attached to my Leathermans pouch with rubber bands (cut outs from a bicicle inner tube). I just carry it for the hell of it... no need for it in the city. I just have it there along with a scrapper (leftover from a hacksaw). I usually carry a ligther as well but I am not a smoker and I had to rely on the ferro rod like twice because I needed fire and somehow forgot my ligther at home.

Cool to have but not really needed in my envyroment.

I have a Scout model that stays in my Leatherman pouch. It has actually come in handy more than once, surprisingly not for making an emergency fire, but for lighting a cigarette when there was no lighter present and no way to get one. :D
 
I have a BSA Hot Spark attached to my Leatherman, and the Leatherman is always attached to my left front pocket.

(that's the olnly pic I have of the combo)
 
At the very least, a BSA hotspark and a mini-bic. My Fox River with Army-sized LMF in the Ferro loop is always close by. I don't travel without it in my car.
