Abstract

See full text

A handheld survival tool that incorporates a storage tube and a firestarting device into one ergonomic unit. Tinder and small survival items are stored within the device while a ferrocerium rod and scraper are stored externally. The replaceable scraper is fastened to one of the storage tube caps which allows the storage tube to be used as a handle for holding the scraper which greatly increases directional control while generating sparks. The ferrocerium rod is tethered to the opposite storage tube cap and secured within a sheath which prevents loss of the ferrocerium and provides a larger mechanism for holding the ferrocerium rod during spark generation. This device greatly improves upon the use, reliability, and function of prior fire-starting devices.
