    I have pocket EDCed my pre hook and pin Swiss Champ for 37 years. It has saved my bacon many times ! I recently got the Fire Fly and the short tinder. I'v never had much use for the tooth pick and I use the tiny screw driver almost every day. PS. If you pocket carry your SAK and don't clean out the pocket lint that it gathers you will have extra tinder.

    I bought a pack of the FireFlys a year or more ago and added it to my EDC knife (Trekker, you should check it out is a great knife for utility and EDC been carrying one of them for the past 18 years carried the same one for 16 years). Great little addition, do miss the toothpick a bit though. Broke the first one by not reading the directions :) Love to see some additional DIY and camping content. CtL

    A word of warning on the Fire Fly. The ferro rod oxidizes after a while. If you don’t keep it clean it can oxidize so much that it is hard or impossible to remove. I have one knife where the ferro rod can’t come out after the tip broke off.

    8:59 If one is in a survival scenario, who the hell cares how much it costs? This then translates into preparation for situations which might escalate into a survival scenario, so if you want to be prepared, part of that preparation is funding the kit you need to survive. The last thing you want is to end up being compromised because you "saved" $2,12 on a purchase of something that could have saved your life, but instead, broke!

    Fire steel for the corkscrew is too small. You can’t get good sparks from it. Not to mention during the winter, when your hands get cold it it can be hard to grip. The corkscrew fire tinder is good but breaks down easily if you use a Swiss Army knife as your edc. The firefly fire steal is great. It throws great sparks. I have a review of it over on my channel if you want to check it out.

A 12-minute video to make people aware of a product which you haven't even read the instructions for is not a good look.
