Kindle your campfire with a superior firestarter from OpticsPlanet. Shop for top brands like Doan, Aurora, Esee, Silver Stag, and Rough Rider, and save your cash for if you're ever low on tinder. Our store has a vast selection of fire-starting tools, but whether you prefer a Nanostriker, a steel striker, or some good old magnesium flint, it's crucial to know the specs of each one when considering what to put in a survival kit. The majority of fire starters use some form of flint and steel to generate sparks for kindling your pile of tinder. Pro Tool, for instance, produces a military fire-starter that uses the ever flammable alkaline magnesium as well as the synthetic metallic ferrocerium to ignite sparks at temperatures upwards of 5,500 °F. This option is sought after for its versatile yet simple features, and not only will it serve you for thousands of fires, but its tactical, waterproof design boasts a tinder shaver and a bullet hole for igniting damp tinder with gunpowder, making it optimal in even the darkest conditions. Another waterproof choice that will endure for 3,000 campfires is the Nanostriker, by Exotac. Besides its 33% larger Ferro rod, and its ultra-sharp tungsten carbide striking tool, the Nano-striker has a unique feel that many campers prefer. And if you want a fire starter that will last even longer, be sure to check out our solar firestarters that use concave mirrors to ignite dry tinder. Speaking of tinder, while you can certainly use twigs, pine needles, dead branches, or bark, every survival expert knows to pack their own dry tinder so don't forget to add tinder Tin Splinters, or Tinder Sticks and TinderDust by Light My Fire, to your tinder bundles and firestarter purchase!
