E.T.C. Flint Light Fire Starter

These are the fire starters included on the new Long Patrol Survivor Cuff. Designed to be water proof and ignite with only the use of the ferrous rod also integrated into the cuff. To light, unfold the envelope to expose the dry lint inside. Use the serrated section of the Barb to loosen up the dry lint. This will make it easier to catch a spark. The waxed bits will burn well once there is a flame but they won’t catch with a spark.

Strike the ferrous rod with the serrated side of the Barb to create sparks. Strike the sparks towards the dry lint to ignite the lint. Once there is a flame carefully fold and turn the waxed envelope to direct the flame toward the paper. Once the paper catches we have a strong flame with a decent burn time for starting a larger fire.

Drop your torch and feat not the darkness.
