Me pareció excelente, el fire starter es muy práctico, muy agradable las señales de SOS, la impermeabilidad del empaque se agradece, pues puedes llevar llesca, o algodón, el rascador es muy superior a los comunes, quede encantada...!!!

I have had mine for 3 years and the cap that stores tinder comes off by itself sometimes bit the fire steel itself is a monster and I recommend it

This thing is a spark monster. I have never failed to start a fire with it. Durability is excellent. I also like the spot for storing tinder and the fact that it is waterproof. Please do not ever discontinue this item!

This is a great and useful tool for starting fires. I have always carried waterproof matches, but this works 110 times better. I will be carrying this on every hike/adventure I go on from this point forward. The only thing I did not like was the cord, but I replaced it with a longer piece of paracord with a couple of snake knots on the end and it works great.

Best firestarter I have so far. The concept of the rescue signals, whistle and cord is great. The only issue is that the tinderbox was hard to find and hard to open when I got it. But all in all it is a great firestarter.

Best fire starter i have bought. You get a very big piece of ferrocerium and tinder department. the whole tool is waterproof and very durable. Highly recommend for survivalist, backpackers, boy scouts, campers, and bush crafters

I got this for survival. its defenitly is durable and can throw lots of sparks. cotton is the best fire tinder for this. if your just camping for a little while just bring a lighter but anymore use this its alot of fun to see a spark catch and you get a fire. thanks gerber keep it up

On my first glance on the fire starter, I thought that it was not worth the value with such a small (in my opinion) ferrocerium rod for the price, But because of the cool rugged look, i had to buy it. But after using it for the first time, I was totally amazed of how fast this little thing set tinder on fire compared to the others. and I really liked the waterproof cap. I introduced this to my team members and they also found it awesome. I totally recommend this to any adventurer outside.

best fire starter out there this is the thickest ferro rod compared to others did tests on waterproof abilities and started many campfires it turns heads as it bears the BG logo on it i loved man vs wild and want it to return.

The Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter is a self-contained, waterproof unit. When pulled apart, one side has a ferrocerium fire starter and the other has a metal striker. The end of the unit unscrews for waterproof tinder storage and it is all held on a lanyard with an integrated emergency whistle.
