This baby is so cool with the tube, compass, and 550 cord. Not to mention I started a fire in seconds.

It is true, this firesteel tube is not a necessity--but it does allow tinder carrying capability (plus keeps it dry) and protects the firesteel from breakage (not likely but possible). Not to mention it makes the whole experience feel somewhat more "classy" if that makes any sense. This is a quality piece of gear and I sure like mine.

I've had my armageddon firesteel tube for a few months now and use it constantly. It's a MUST for any survivalist in my opinion. Fantastic quality first and foremost, just plain works terrific,super simple, super tough,super reliable, and will last for 1,000's and 1,000's of fires. Great job firesteel.com!

I have had my new 3/8 Firesteel Tube for about a week now, and all that I can say is awsome. The handle makes all the difference in the world plus you can carry your tinder inside the waterproof tube. A great investment.
