Long obsession with non-match firelighting. More into friction fire methods such as bow drills and whathaveyou, but I also like having a real carbon steel strikealight with me (the one pictured in my avatar) because they last practically for ever and strike off stone. Don't use this much "in anger" in the field because the sparks you get off them are weak and hard to catch compared to ferro rod sparks, but it is nice to know it is there as an ultimate backup.
