Used this device for several years and it never fails ! Haven't found another fire striker that comes close in ease, speed and dependability in all fire-making conditions.

I am glad to see you guys team up with the folks at Lightning Strike. When I reviewed the original on my channel it performed flawlessly. A lot of folks complained about the price but, like you mentioned, it is USA made and absolutely works every time. Thanks. - Bryan

Got mine today !

I definitely appreciate the quality of this product. Since you have a rather short stroke length through the opening in the tube you tend to throw less sparks overall than using the full length of a six-inch long rod, but certainly this product concentrates the sparks into a tight area. Jamie, permit me to offer a few tips for filming future demo videos. The closer you can get your audience to seeing the ignition of the mini inferno and the natural tinder, the better you'll be able to demonstrate, and therefore sell this product. Try editing in a close-up shot of the tinder,and perhaps a point-of-view (POV) shot looking over your shoulder or a side view. Try it and see if you don't a considerably better job of selling the product that way.

Your not sure of yourself , you must feel the video you are doing God bless

The Pathfinder is actually the mini version of the Lightning Strike Fire Starter. There's also a larger full size version available from places like Amazon. I'm not sure if there is any advantage to it though. It's a great fire starter that works really well. The only downside it the price. It's $60. ($67 on Amazon, so get it at SRO if you want one!)

Cut the first two minutes out. I almost closed it. Looks like a great product though.

DO NOT FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE ! I grew up using my father's hunting rifle ammo, as an experimental object. Hmmm, what if I ... pull out the round, spill out a little grain, light, and ...? H-ly ---! There was a blue-white flame shooting out (and jet vortex whistling 60 decibels) from the ammo lip 6 inches long, for 3-4 seconds. Then it ignites the percussion cap (blowing it backwards out of the fire), making a rifle shot-sound. I defintely had tinder fire after that! I definitely received all the Oregon rural neighbor housewives' attention thinking a real shot went off. Oh, its that xxxx son screwing around again, grrrr! Only in a true emergency and survival hunting situation ... and no numb nuts playtime adventure, OK?! Then there is the very real tale of "living through" chemistry class as Teacher's Assistant, and drying out humid gunpowder in a test tube over a bunsen burner .... Use a Lightning Strike fire starter, and BE SAFE!

just use mini bic lighter ffs. these items like fire strikers should only be used in a survival kits, and i mean real survival kits like aircraft kits n stuff like that, not in a bug out or hiking bag.
