I run across a lot of neat gadgets and gear and would love to get input from the group, usually they are outdoor related as that is where my interests lie. Feel free to share any innovative, new or even strange / stupid contraptions here.
To start it off, I love fire starting methods from Primitive to High Tech.
Just saw this in an email sent to me from "Survival Life"

My thoughts:
I like and carry fire steel and Carbon knife with me anytime I am outdoors. I can usually find natural materials where I live that will take a spark fairly easily. My younger kids (10 Yr. Old) carry one of the ESEE Steels with a compartment for PJCB that they can use for easy lights. I hate things that need to be filled with lighter fluid or butane because they get used so infrequently that chances are they will be empty when you need them. I can see this might be nice in a very wet environment where it is hard to find dry tinder. I do carry a Standard Bic lighter in my pocket most of the time and consider my Firesteel a back up.
Love to hear your thoughts (Pros or Cons)
UPDATE: Just an FYI, the link offers it free if you pay Shipping and Handling... You will be run though a bunch of videos, asking you to subscribe to a million things and then spammed by Survival Life after that.... Buyer Beware! - and no I did not order one, just familiar with "Survival Life"
*** If you do a Google search there are other options out there, even similar products ***
