Having the ability to start a fire in a survival situation is extremely important. A fire can keep you warm, cook your food, and make your water drinkable. A fire might even deter the intrusion of predators. The Micro Sparker works similar to a butane lighter with a striker wheel. Designed for easy one-handed operation, just use your finger to turn the wheel and a shower of sparks from the flint will be directed towards your tinder. With over 5000 sparks from each sparker you can start a fire or two.
