Thanks for the reference; that is a very interesting site with an interesting product. I'll probably be ordering form them soon.

You mentioned tying one of the Firesteel toggles into your shoe laces and I wonder if that is always a good idea. Doe you run a chance of starting a fire inadvertently if you keep a steel in that location where it can be moving and hitting things, possibly creating sparks?

This may be a far fetched possibility some places, but here in the southwest, serious fires have been started by accidental sparks. I have personally created sparks accidentally while working with steel tools in grassy environments, so it is a real possibility - not so much in the rain soaked Pacific northwest.
