In a survival situation, a Firesteel can be a life saver as it lets you quickly ignite tinder to light kindling and build a fire.

That is, if everything works perfectly; if you are out of practice or just learning, having the spark land in the right place can be a challenge, but this method greatly reduces the chance for error.

One of the toughest survival skills to learn is how to start a potentially life-saving fire from the start, every time, regardless of conditions.

This approach reduces the margin of error and requires very little practice to master.
