It will likely be easier to strike if you detach the striker from
the flint, which you can easily achieve by unhooking the chain. The BCB Fire Ball Flint and Striker Fire Starter is durable and dependable and is ideal for
lighting camp fires, stoves, and signaling in an emergency situation due to its extreme bright, and very hot, sparks.
BCB Fireball Flint and Striker Fire Starter:
Gather dry tinder (readily
flammable like straw, cotton, wool, paper etc.),
build a small pile. Ensure your next
larger fuel is handy. Try more paper or
larger sticks.
Grip the Fireball Fire Starter firmly with one hand. Hold the striker in the other hand. Place the bottom of the fireball next to your tinder.
Firmly strike the steel down the fireball showering the sparks onto the tinder without disturbing the tinder. Practice this a few times away from the tinder first. You will find with practice that forcing the striker down slowly is better than rapid movements as it creates less disturbance on the tinder. With practice, you will find that the large amount of extremely hot sparks will easily produce a fire.
Fire Starter Safety - Please take care lighting fires with the Fireball Flint and Striker Fire Starter, or any fire starter for that matter. Lighting them in the wrong place, or at the wrong time, can cause an even bigger emergency and lots of damage. Only
light fires where they can be controlled and will not spread. Only light fires where you have permission.
Fire is a vital part of safety and survival. Fire is not only used for warmth, cooking and improving moral, but it can also be used for signaling and defense.
Always clean up your campfire and site after use. Never leave a camp fire unattended. "Leave no trace."
