The Gerber brand firestarter is characterised by excellent quality, a solid rod and a comfortable casing. I always have it in my backpack. I also appreciate its weight, as I see it as an advantage. The whistle is exceptionally loud.
Gerber Fire Starter
Survival fire starter equipped with a ferrocerium rod generating an intense shower of sparks reaching a temperature of 3000°C. The metal striker allows effective fire starting even in adverse conditions such as rain or strong wind.
Housing compliant with IPX4 standard
Compact design made of durable plastic in a contrasting black-orange color scheme complies with the IPX4 standard. The bright orange accents make it easy to locate the fire starter in a backpack or bag. At the back, under the orange screw cap, there is a compartment with flammable tinder made of soft cotton fibers (wadding).
