Smith's50562 Pack Pal Tinder Maker with Fire Starter – Stainless Steel Grater –Striker – Natural Tinder – Outdoor Survival Tool – Lightweight – Portable, Yellow

I took this camping with some friends & several of them used it & were very pleased with it. I like it & have used it many times to make a camp-cook fire. It is compact, easy to use & is practically weightless.

Great little fire starter for my bail out bag.

Alternative to making a feather stick..work well..bought 3..find/buy a few pieces of fat wood.. over prep for making a fire for success..I recommend this..

Works well

Handy little piece to keep in your backpack. No fire starting material? No problem!

Overall, I'm impressed. This thing is easy to use to make tinder for starting a fire. Be careful though, the grater is SHARP and will peel the skin. I love the small size and negligible weight of this. It stores in a pack without much room and seems pretty durable after using for several months. I use a larger ferro rod, but this one would work in an emergency. It's a nice add to the package. For the money, this seems like an instant value to add to any fire kit. Get one, you'll be glad you did.

If you’re an outdoorsman you need this in your back pack. If your kids are learning to be an outdoorsman you owe it to them to have it in their backpack. Learn the basics of fire starting with different embers or firestarters and this will start and kindling.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Makes getting things shredded for fire making less of a chore!Love the compact size and that there’s flint and steel attached! Saw a Young Marine’s father using this and I just had to get one! Our YMs are ready for fire making training!
