Exotac NanoStriker

All-in-one firestarter (you provide the kindling).

From the Wall Street Journal:

"Unscrewing the ends reveals a ferrocerium rod and a tungsten carbide striker."

"Just drag the striker across the rod with a decent amount of pressure to unleash serious Fourth of July-like sparks."

"Hold it over the tinder of your choice (dried leaves, lint, or cotton balls are recommended) to start a blaze on the go."

"The NanoStriker works even when wet, and each rod is good for about 1,000 uses — plenty to get you through the summer with enough left over to make it worth stashing in your emergency-supply kit."

$23.75.
