I searched but I couldn’t find. If there is a general picture topic regarding lighters and fire steels and matches, please mod.

When a person asks someone if they have a lighter, or fire, the reply often seems to sound something like “No, sorry, I don’t smoke”. Ok. So pretty much all smokers EDC some kind of lighter or matches without even knowing what EDC means, for obvious reasons. However, as you’re all well aware of you don’t equip yourself for a single task only. I mean, would I need a folder, a flashlight and a fire steel to buy milk or go to work? No, but hey, feels like I don’t have to bring that up here at EDCF. To make a long story short, I’m pretty sure that all of you at least own something portable that could be used to start a fire, in this thread I want to see pictures of those. All EDC and EDC-ish type of fire starting gadgets ranging from top notch market rope burners to fire steels or homemade emergency/survival devices made from taped up batteries and strips of wire would be of interest.

Here’s my contribution. A Bag-O-Fire. I actually only keep them like this at home, when I go out I only deploy the stuff I think I need, for example, I would probably not bring my fire steel and ziplock of dryer lint if I’m heading for the mall.

The pictures shows a bright yellow rip stop nylon bag I got as a part of a trade. In this bag I keep a Silva Helios Rope Burner (a great storm lighter which would probably be more known as a Brunton Helios to most of you), a Light My Fire magnesium fire steel, a standard plastic lighter and a box of waterproof matches. I used to own an old fire steel that I made myself from an old file. I studied ancient crafts and did this while learning the basics of blacksmithing, it was awesome. It was actually the second fire steel I made since the first one didn’t work, something went wrong in the heat treat / tempering process with that one. The second one however, with a good piece of flint it worked better then my LMF
