Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Fire Starters
For the price, this fire-starter is 'ok'. The whistle is very loud, but if you are in a situation where you don't have alot of breath (very sick or weak, have a chest injury, pinned under something in a way the is restricting your air, etc), you might be out of luck. It's takes a lot of air to make it sound correctly...you have to blow really hard. The compass is just a cheap floating one that's glued on. (sometimes you have to 'knock' it to make it read..the floating disc gets 'stuck' sometimes). The striker is standard expected quality. It took a good 5 minutes to scrape the coating off the rod so that it would even spark. I would NOT recommend this to put in an emergency pack 'as-is', but AFTER you prepare it, I think it's an OK option. I think for the price, I would like the lanyard to have been better quality and about 2 inches longer, and maybe have a 'lip' on the compass so that at least the glue isn't exposed. (I am concerned it may come off over time).Read full review
