I think the Sparklite is a great item, main feature is ablility to light with one hand. I keep one in the PSK along with my Scout Firesteel and a small butane lighter. Fire can be extremely important in a wilderness emergency situation, so I carry multiple options!
I have practiced the hand drill and bow drill methods also, but sure prefer not to have to resort to primitve methods. Cheers!
