Here's a new (to me) method of carrying your (really small) firesteel. It's not very effective for regular use but is quite convenient for an emergency backup. Even the smallest firesteel lasts for hundreds of lights - much more than one should need for an emergency. (Do you really need the 1/2 thick model?)

Step 1. Buy $0.95 minature firesteel

Step 2. Pull internal threads from paracord and melt ends

Step 3. Push firesteel inside (this takes a bit of work)

Step 4. Tie to keychain/knife/etc.

Yes. The firesteel is inside there.
