The Vargo Ultimate Fire Starter provides everything you need to start a roaring fire except the fuel. Simply unscrew the ferrocerium rod from the bellows and use the integrated scraper to ignite any tinder. Then, extend the bellows and gently blow to nurture that spark into a flame. Or use it anytime to help increase the heat of your fire. Great for getting stubborn or wet fuel to burn, too!

- Sturdy stainless steel construction
- Extendable bellows
- Integrated ferrocerium rod
- Attached ferrocerium striker
- Convenient carrying clip
So this is a great, useful product. Using the bellows to blow on the coals can quickly enhance any fire with minimal effort. It's about the size of a standard permanent marker, so packing is easy. Two complaints, though: the clip is to small to clip on anything bigger than a lanyard loop, and the tip of the bellows is plastic (which can melt pretty easily). Other than that, I highly recommend this as a fire tool.
