Bear Grylls Fire Starter

i have this in my Boy Scout troop and i recommend it for all my kids.

An incredibly handy tool, it's small enough to fit in a pocket but will start a fire as good as any lighter. The waterproof design and tinder compartment make this indispensable for any hiking or camping kit. If you need to start a fire look no further than the Bear Grylls Fire Starter.

me getting looks alright

Easy to use but has a protective cover but once through that works like gold and a very convenient hole to put your cottonball in

tis is a very good fire starter. it was difficult to use at first but go easier after i got used to it. one downside is that the rod is a little bit short and would be hard to use if you have big hands.

I bought one yesterday and i tried it to start a firePratice is surely needed before going on exercise cuz it takes me few strike to get it right but after no problem i was just super happy to light a fire this way . realy a nice tool that worth the $

this is the best firesteel i ever owned. it has rescue signals, whistle, watertight, and tinder. what other firesteel has that? with a strike i get fire. it shoots a fireball. i even set my sock on fire when testing it in the house. worth the $.

i do not own one but want one to have on me when i go on trips,but it is not sold in Iceland

At first I loved this piece. It looks cool it has useful features. After using it in the field I feel it is unreliable with such small sparks, and I think it comes with cotton because that is all it can light. I am not professional by any means but I did a side by side with another ferrocerium rod and the other got my fire going no problem while this one couldn't even get an ember. It's a good backup

This is the most epic thing ever! it keeps tinder dry, and real thick striker! highly recomend! I am really good with this stuff so i would know!

I'm exited! i will bought it tonight cause I'm BG BIGGEST fan and i should have all what have BG :D

This is a great fire starter. It produces a great spark every time and the fact that's it's water tight is nice because you don't have to worry about drying it if it got wet in your pack.

I used to have a five dollar Colmen magnesium fire starter, I HATE IT! I am an experienced eagel scout and I am great at using fire starters. But this one would only shoot 2 or 3 sparks at a time. My Bear Grylls fire starter shoots out a fire ball!!

Awesome

Uma fantástica ferramenta de sobrevivência. Fiz alguns testes; minha esposa e meu filho conseguiram fazer fogo sem qualquer dificuldade. Muito bom. Recomendo.

A fantastic tool for survival. I did some tests, my wife and son were able to make fire without any difficulty. Very good. Recommend.

Je suis tres content du produit!!!
Robuste, et fait des étincelles du premier coup!!! Et son compartiment imperméable fait de lui un produit de QUALITÉ.
Merci Gerber et Bear Grylls

terrible no stars if possible

I've owned and used a Gerber Strike Force fire starting system for many years. Bought one of these for EDC kit in my rig. The ferro rod is generous enough for many hundreds of strikes, more than I'll likely ever need. Should last for years.

This man's a genius. From what I see on his shows, you need to simply just angle the stroke near the end, and you'll feel the resistance. To those saying this product did not work, it must be in your technique, or a simple manufacturer defect. Trustworthy tool, and the extra compartment for tinder is genius. The whistle is cool too, but is piercing, which may or may not be a good thing. Just a heads up, but i find that there are only advantages to any of Bear's products.

Re stock lots of people want them

Hoping to purchase soon! Looks great!

Works great and it looks real good

It works quite well, providing some impressive sparks, but it would've been nice if Gerber gave it a larger storage compartment. Also, some technical advice for Gerber: if I engineered this device, I would've made the starter-rod be able to come out so that you can turn it around and use the length of the rod that is stuck in the handle.

it looks good to me from the video and it look handy

I bought this a year or so ago, and it's the best fire steal I've ever had! Then I accidentally left it in my back pack at the airport and I had to throw it away. But is is the first fire steal I've had that successfully lit a fire in one strike. Marvelous.

PLEASE RESTOCK SO I CAN GIVE YOU MY MONEY!

my 8 year old daughter can even start a fire with this ....amazing tool....

I bought this unit believing it was high quality due to the reputation and experience of the man who is endorsing it. It is without a doubt the worst fire striker I have ever used. I will be returning it to Gerber. The problem is the metal striker.

carry it all the time . I work out doors alot comes in handy on cold winter days when you don't have a lighter or matchs thanks again

amazing it is the only flint where i've been able to get a fire going

im a big fan of bear, and this i an amazing tool ive had it for ages and it lights in about 2-3 strikes buy it guys!!!

From what i heard it looks great. Im looking to buy this because i have the ultimate survival kit and first time using it the flint shaft came off. But this looks much more sturdy!

it is a brilliant piece of equipment i am a big fan of bear he is a role model to me.maybe could of came with a few more cotton balls

Dear Sir or Madam
I wish to advise of a problem with the metal striker on the survival series fire starter. I gave this device to my spouse as a gift to help complete an emergency kit for her 4 wheel quad. Both of us are avid outdoors people with years of experience in Canada's North. We were on a trip and tried to use the fire starter and could barely get a showere of sparks. In fact I could not get enough spark to light a cotton ball. It appears the striker is too smooth. I could remedy this by filing it down or putting a sharp edge on it, however I feel I should not have to modify a new piece of equipment. I was going to give my two daughters these fire starters for Christmas but decided against it as I would not want them to depend on it in an emergency situation. Please advise as to how we can rectify the problem. I have several pieces of Mr. Grylls equipment and feel this one slipped past quality control

how long can it work

the fire starter is brilliant but maybe it could come with a spare flint stick but thank you bear and gerber!!

i brought this and it snapped of in 3 strikes

do not buy this

Now i can make a fire in min 30 second

This fire starter is very nice and sturdy. I have used this many times on my camping trips. It has not let me down at all. You will not regret buying this product.

Amazing product! I have put it to the test and it just blows the doors off anything else. 100%. If you are unsure of purchasing; I promise you won't regret!

Not sure why it does not include a magnesium strip to create shavings?

very good recommend it to others !

Good so far.

It produces good sparkles and it's easy to use. Dry compartment and whistle are a plus. O-ring came off while using it, just FYI.

I was camping and needed a fire and this thing started the fire in 3 strikes! It is the best fire starter ive ever used. Good job bear and gerber. I also love the priorities of survival thing. I used the deadfall to catch a rabbit. So basicly its crazy go

Works like a champ! The storage compartment keeps your tinder dry until you need it. The shaft of the starter is nice and thick, unlike a lot of others that I have used. This one will last a good long time! Highly recommended!
