{"title":"Fire steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fire steel makes sparks, even in the rain. You need no gas or fuel for it. That is why it belongs in every outdoor bag. It works in wind, rain and cold. So you can always light a fire, even when your matches are wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a fire steel is so handy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lighter runs out and matches soak through. A steel lasts much longer. You can get thousands of sparks from it. The steel hardly wears, even after years. That is why many people carry one as a spare next to their lighter. Besides, it is small and light. So it fits in your trouser pocket or your backpack. You also learn to use it fast. Simply strike the steel with a short, firm stroke. As a result, a hot spark lands on your tinder. This works when camping, for bushcraft and in an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use a fire steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, make sure you have dry tinder or fine kindling. Place it out of the wind. Hold the steel close to the tinder. Then strike it short and hard. The spark is hot, so the tinder catches fast. Blow gently so the fire grows. Practise this at home a few times. Then it will also work outside when it is cold and wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks in all weather\u003c\/strong\u003e, even in rain and wind\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLasts a long time\u003c\/strong\u003e, because thousands of sparks are possible\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall and light\u003c\/strong\u003e, so easy to carry\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo fuel needed\u003c\/strong\u003e, always ready to use\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick spark\u003c\/strong\u003e, so your tinder catches fast\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor outdoor and survival\u003c\/strong\u003e, with many uses\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMore for making fire\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking for more ways to make fire?
