What I want to know is what part of the tablet do I shave or baton in order to get kindling or tinder for a fire? The thing is just too techie...

More seriously, consider how you are allocating your resources. Presumably, there is a limit to how much money any of us can plow into outdoor/survival gadgets. Would you be better off with the survival tablet which gives you comms and an emap or a well rounded set of more trad survival stuff, like firestarters, FAKs knives, and warm clothing?

I'd rather have a knife and a FAK, thank you.....
