The Fireant would be my first choice personally, because it's an emergency backup and not for primary use. Felix Immler is very interesting to watch because of all the tips he has for the different uses and types of SAK's.

As a carpenter I use the saw all the time. When meeting 2 cuts in a 90degree angle, the saw make it easy to finish the cut so you don't have any over cut.

Had the fireflies for two camping seasons and still going strong w/ no breaks in the field. GITD tips are also a bonus if you happen to drop it in a fiddly fire pit. As a backup to a BIC it’s the perfect solution.

I have pocket EDCed my pre hook and pin Swiss Champ for 37 years. It has saved my bacon many times ! I recently got the Fire Fly and the short tinder. I'v never had much use for the tooth pick and I use the tiny screw driver almost every day. PS. If you pocket carry your SAK and don't clean out the pocket lint that it gathers you will have extra tinder.

The pen slot has a slight bend in it to hold the pen in place. Pin hole does the same thing. Because they're steel, it's fine. But a ferro rod is a lot more brittle and might snap if loaded that way. The longer ones are for EvoGrip, I think.
@steveb19726 ай бұрын
I have the Firefly in my Rambler replacing the toothpick, which is my every day carry. I have the Huntsman for camping and hiking, which has the corkscrew tinder and the glasses screwdriver (I wear glasses) and again the Firefly replacing the toothpick. As you said, not as a primary source of fire.

Resilient hacks has a video where he puts a ferro rod about the size of your broken one in gutted paracord with some jute twine to make a fire starter lanyard. That would be perfect for your Compact.
@robulrich63552 жыл бұрын
After watching Felix's videos, I also selected a Huntsman. Prior to that, I saw no use for a couple of the tools, such as the corkscrew and parcel hook. I want to do Felix's mod to the scale to add a toothpick slot for a firefly.

A word of warning on the Fire Fly. The ferro rod oxidizes after a while. If you don’t keep it clean it can oxidize so much that it is hard or impossible to remove. I have one knife where the ferro rod can’t come out after the tip broke off.

I bought a pack of the FireFlys a year or more ago and added it to my EDC knife (Trekker, you should check it out is a great knife for utility and EDC been carrying one of them for the past 18 years carried the same one for 16 years). Great little addition, do miss the toothpick a bit though. Broke the first one by not reading the directions :) Love to see some additional DIY and camping content. CtL

8:59 If one is in a survival scenario, who the hell cares how much it costs? This then translates into preparation for situations which might escalate into a survival scenario, so if you want to be prepared, part of that preparation is funding the kit you need to survive. The last thing you want is to end up being compromised because you "saved" $2,12 on a purchase of something that could have saved your life, but instead, broke!

Fire steel for the corkscrew is too small. You can’t get good sparks from it. Not to mention during the winter, when your hands get cold it it can be hard to grip. The corkscrew fire tinder is good but breaks down easily if you use a Swiss Army knife as your edc. The firefly fire steal is great. It throws great sparks. I have a review of it over on my channel if you want to check it out.

I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't understand how you do a video like this and NOT know what you're doing before filming. This product is not really a new thing, but nevertheless it could have been described in seconds. A 12-minute video to make people aware of a product which you haven't even read the instructions for is not a good look.
