It's kind of funny, I didn't EDC fire-making gear until I saw Cast Away. The thought of Tom Hanks' character being stranded on that island with no apparent way to start a fire got me to add a BSA Hot Spark to my key chain. He didn't think he was going anywhere non-urban, but as fate would have it ...
I seem to remember that on his keychain in that movie he carried a swis army knife, which he gave to Helen Hunt, because she forgot her own keys, just before he boarded the plane.
Moral: Keep your Keys on one ring and Goodies on another and never give up your Goodies if you can avoid it.
