If you're a Prepper will this be your ultimate fire starter? I think so. It doesn't matter how cold, what altitude or how wet it is outside, the fire steel will create the sparks necessary to get a fire going, light ALL your propane devices (stove, catalytic heater and lanterns), oil lamp or other fueled devices that you may be depending on while in the woods or during an emergency. The Fire Steel is far more dependable than any matches or lighters.
About the whistle included, I have to say the whistle is just about worthless, this one is barely audible! Buy and carry a real survival whistle.
At $17.20 it's affordable and worth having in your BOB or in your emergency stocks!
It is a quality made product.
