Thanks guys. Seems there are mixed reviews on the BlastMatch. I'll add it to my pack as a backup but I have a Light My Fire Fire steel for my primary...thats if my lighters fail. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

KS - my primary fire starting method is now, and will forever be a LMF Fire Steel.

Rub some cotton balls in Vasoline, and store them in a 35mm film canister (you can get these free at WalMart's photo lab). Pull out a little bit out, and hit it with a few sparks from the LMF = INSTANT and STABLE BURNING tinder.

I've started fires in torrential rain this way.
