Necessity for Backpacking/Emergencies I bought two of these, one for my father and the other for my husband, as a late father’s day gift. My husband is a Hiker and I thought he should have something like this in his pack. We went car camping recently and used it for the first time to start a fire. It takes a bit to get down the exact stroke you need but eventually they got it. It didn’t help any that it was a rainy weekend and everything was either wet or damp.

Cute, but small and difficult to use. Worthless whistle. I bought this for my daughter to use and she cannot even get a spark out of it. Using the attached striker, I can get sparks enough to light dryer lint, but it takes a LOT of strength and time, and requires the striker be held just so. The sparks it does generate are not the typical fireworks shower that most ferro rods throw, but rather as others have noted, it just looks like the sparks from a Bic lighter.
