Just bought the firebiner! Excited to add this to my stove kit. I used to have matches. I like that tactile feeling of starting a fire. A lighter just doesn't do it for me. This will substantially lighten my pack. Yay thanks for making this!
haha! natural fibers can be smacked out (if they are small) ...the synthetic fires are dangerous to the hand. Ask Mojica about the time his daughter's polyester fleece jacket was on fire. That was a bad deal. ...but he did find out that egg whites take out the sting from the burn :)
Great questions. YES! is this TSA friendly (except in China or Taiwan) and yes I have purposefully dropped this in a small stream, dried it off (as best as possible) and after about 4 tries it sparks right back up!
But if you call now, we'll also send you the outdoor element onion choppper! It slices and dices tear free! A $19.99 value yours free! CALL NOW!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I like the Firebiner. Gonna get one. Just havin fun.
have three of your firebeaners, one on my keychain, one on my edc bag, and one on my go bag in my jeep. I can't seem to cut paracord with the cutter is there a way to sharpen it or is it just designed to cut thinner coradage?
Thanks for the comment and for supporting small business! I really think it is better suited for thinner lines (like some monofilament). I have cut paracord with it a couple of times and it is ugly and takes way too long. Have you tried our Fire Escape? The cutter on this will slide through paracord (and seatbelts) like no one's business.
sorry for the delayed response. If you go to our website www.outdoorelement.com there are a couple of options ...5 for $1 or there is a maintenance kit $2.49 ...Thanks for supporting small business!
novelty tat got one it throws a spark the first couple of times you're getting the feel of it and that it i struggle to get a spark, id be better off with a empty lighter at least i know they throw sparks
Thanks for reaching out. Please contact us directly at info@outdoorelement.com ...so we can understand what is going on...and so we can take care of you.
Thanks for your comment. Couple of things 1. The spark wheel is one directional ...there should be a little arrow laser etched on the carabiner to show the direction. if rotated the other way it might throw a tiny spark...or none at all. 2. if you spark it all the time, the ferro rod is a consumable. it will wear out. two things you can do, we designed it so that the set screw can be adjusted deeper. Give that a few turns and the spring in there will provide more compression against the rod and wheel. if the rod is completely worn out, remove the set screw and spring and throw in a new ferro rod. At trade shows, we have literally made 30 fires in one day (with our tinder quiks -waxed infused cotton...Vaseline soaked cotton balls work just as well) ...in addition to starting our camp stove 20 times that same day
sorry for the lateness of my reply, it was in no way your fault or mine, the package it was in was left outdoors in bad weather by the delivery company, i didnt think this would be such a problem but after a few days left alone indoors it works fine. also im glad a friend of mine has told me i can use those old flints from lighters too
The fact that this doesn't seem to be a sure fire option (pun intended) in and of itself with natural tinder, such as wood shavings, dry twigs and leaves, has me skeptical about this product's actual value as a survival tool. Seems too reliant on specific conditioned burn materials to catch flame.
Earl, thanks for your thoughts, we can appreciate them. With fire-making implements, 2 is 1 and 1 is none. We always recommend having at least 2 different ways to make fire. We recently had a customer tell us of a canoe trip she was on. Right before she reached her camping spot, the canoe flipped and somehow soaked her "dry bag" with the matches. She shared with us, it was the firebiner that gave her fire that night. We are not against Bic lighters or matches. This can serve as your plan B ...The firebiner is also excellent for camp stoves. If you have an MSR pocket Rocket, it will really shine here. ...or if your piezo starter fails, the Firebienr will shine. Hope this helps, see you on the trails
One other thing: it could be dangerous to only rely solely on natural tinder to get your fire started. If you happen to hit a really wet/damp day, it can cause a lot of heartache and frustration. We always recommend carrying some sort of drybag with fire tinder. There is a ton of great options out there @Protekcamp and @FiberlightFS make some great options to keep handy.

Love hearing this...excited to hear about your adventures!
I subscribed because of this young mans energy. I swa him in another video about a bad ass knife the company he works for designed.
Dude, ever heard of a cup of water? You are nuts! Can't wait to get mine!!
Just got my Fire Escape. Love it. Thanks for the video and all the hard work.
Thanks for the love and feedback!
this dude is fireproof

Ok
That thing lights well! Haha!
Promising product. Any idea if this is TSA-friendly? Also if it gets wet , will it still work after the spark wheel is dried enough?
Great questions. YES! is this TSA friendly (except in China or Taiwan) and yes I have purposefully dropped this in a small stream, dried it off (as best as possible) and after about 4 tries it sparks right back up!
@@outdoorelement thanks! big help. Planning to get one. Stay safe!
Great video!
Can i bring this to airport?
got mine! Awesome! Great vid too, man, appreciate it!
Thanks for the support! ...love the adventure from idea to reality
Neosporin + tinder works really good too.
We will have to give this a try! But it makes sense

How do u put it out
VERY cool item. I have one and I can vouch for it. Where can I get extra flints for it? I lost the original packaging which held the extras.

Didn't Katy Perry talk about Cheri Chapstick in one of her song. Great video.
Mojica from OE has 4 daughters...he just plays with the cards dealt. We can now thank Katy for survival :)
I want to buy it inside Turkey, people
Sorry, I do not think we have a distributor in Turkey.
