Are you thinking about certain fire starters that are relatively large? In a pinch, I could fit a highly dependable fire starting kit underneath the band on my watch. For example...

With that tiny rod and my other equipment I would have with me, I can start a fire in a wide variety of conditions. Without any planned fire starter means, I would NOT bet my life on being able to start a fire.

Is everybody here doing an honest cost/benefit analysis?


I Love Firesteel.com Firesteels I own like 10 pups from them. They are extremely cost effective being 1$ ONE...DOLLAR... Its amazing how people consider to not carry one at the price and size of these things.
