Aard --<br><br> Rather than flints glued to a popsickle stick, someone here not long ago talked about superglueing them into the channel of a house key blank. Drop it into the zip with your mashed cotton/vaseline and the striker, and you'd be set. Or carry the key on your daily carry key chain -- or substitute a Sparky rod, which is even less bulky than a key, if you discard the keyring.<br><br> If you're (logically) counting on having your wallet with you (for the Fresnel lens), you'll probably have a keychain, too. Give some thought to the "mega keychain" previous posts here, which will accommodate fire starting, whistle, a mini-flashlight, and a mini-SAK without pulling your pants down. I hang the flash (ARC-Infinity AAA) out the edge of my pocket to reduce pocket wear by the key chain, and it makes it easy to grab even sitting down. Works even with "dress-up" clothes! <br><br> The mini-zip of cotton tinder will flatten and carry well in your wallet, too, if you can't figure a way to hang it on the keychain (although a keychain Nitro-pill bottle would do that too.)
