Customer Reviews
Works well, here's a tip on easy firestarting.
Does what its supoposed to, throws hot sparks to light dry tinder. Good tip: us lint from your dryer as the tinder to start fires quick! I carry some with me in a small ziploc bag. Doesn't take much per fire plus its cheaper than other "tinder" you can buy.
Brunton Striker
In 10 years a Scout Leader (OA & Woodbadge) and as a frequent backpacker, I've used most strikers and find this one is a good product for the price. Size & weight are good. Spark output is adequate. Other strikers can cost twice as much but don't produce twice the sparks.
Obviously, this product is only for emergencies, so don't expect to light your Peak stove on a cold day or start every cooking fire with it. It's only for when you forgot to pack enough waterproof matches. And as with all emergency equipment, practice with it at home before you need it on the trail.
Drier lint is a good tender. Hold the tip of the striker touching the tender when striking. Have coarse tender ready to add to the flame. Alcohol-soaked cotton balls (denatured alcohol, not rubbing alcohol) can also be used, but be careful.
If you keep your tender sealed in a Zip-Lock bag, you'll never have a problem starting a fire in the wilderness with a small striker like this one.
Great Firestarter
The product works great assuming you have dry tinder. There is a protective coating on the shank which prevents fires during shipping. It is easily scratched off.
