The Light My Fire fire starter is equipment worth having with you in any situation—especially the FireSteel 2.0 BioScout model made a great impression on me. It is very durable—the thick core provides powerful sparks, and the whole design fits well in the hand, regardless of whether I'm wearing gloves or my hands are wet. The bioplastic handle is slightly rough, which makes it easy to hold even during precise movements. In terms of functionality, it works excellently—it produces very hot, numerous sparks, which easily ignite cotton, dry grass, tinder, or well-prepared birch bark. Compared to cheaper models, the difference in spark quality is significant. The additional notched metal piece works surprisingly well, although if needed, you can also use the edge of a knife. The entire construction is lightweight, compact, and easy to slip into a pocket, fanny pack, backpack, or hang around your neck. The lanyard connecting the parts is strong and flexible. An extra feature is the built-in whistle—it won’t replace a professional signal device, but in an emergency, it produces a loud, clear sound. The red color is highly visible, which is useful if the fire starter falls on the ground or gets lost among your belongings. It’s a reliable source of fire, perfect for camping, hiking, EDC kits, or bushcraft. It works reliably, which is what I value most on my trips. Highly recommended!

The firestarter creates a lot of sparks and works great for starting a fire. I've used it several times already and it still looks like new. The sparks are intense, so you can get a fire going quickly. I definitely recommend this product. Even though I’m just starting out with fire-making, I had no difficulties.

Very good fire starter – compact, lightweight, and solid. It works great for camping, bushcraft, and as part of emergency EDC gear. It produces a strong spark, 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 practical bonus. After several uses, there are practically no signs of wear, which proves the high quality of the rod. It's worth having this fire starter with you because it works even when matches or a lighter fail.

Easy to use and durable. Striking sparks is easy even for those without much experience. Handles well despite its small size, plus the eco-friendly handle material doesn't reduce product quality.
-
Very good fire starter, produces strong sparks. The shaped grip makes lighting a fire easier. Works even in damp conditions. I really recommend it.
-
Very nice fire starter – convenient, good price, you can throw it into your bag or backpack. Nice color and strong sparks. I'm satisfied. The shaped grip is also good when your hand is wet or with gloves.
-
This is the best fire starter on the market – it's lightweight, handy, and easy to start a fire with (e.g., with a cotton pad). I definitely recommend it, even a child can handle it.
-
Great! Sparks like sparklers. Why use matches or a lighter when you just strike this and have fire? It doesn't matter if it falls into water – just wait, let it dry, and it works again. Light My Fire is the best value for the money.
-
I have this fire starter and many other products from this brand. In my opinion, it’s one of the best on the market in this category. The fire starter gives great sparks, I recommend both the product and the militaria.pl shop.

Hello! In my opinion, the fire starter is fine, I bought it for the plate because it gives great sparks with any military fire starter. The plate itself is worth getting - it's durable, and the fire starter lasts about a year.
-
Light My Fire is the unbeatable brand when it comes to fire starters. I've tested different ones and only this one worked. I highly recommend buying their products.
-
Great for daily use because it’s small and lightweight. The vivid color makes it easy to find, even if you drop it. The whistle is an added bonus.
-
This is my second fire starter and I am very satisfied. Small, handy, and the plate works great. Perfect for EDC.
-
Smaller version, so it takes up little space. I carry it along with a mini stove as a backup fire starter just in case.
-
I think this isn't the best choice for beginners. It's short, which makes it harder to use, though the sparks are good once you learn. It wears out quickly. Next time I'll choose a bigger size – the cord could also be longer.
