ABSTRACT:
A fire starting kit is configured for easy lighting of fires, particularly by those involved in camping and other outdoor activities. The fire starting kit includes an elongated hollow case having a first casing section and a second casing section which fit together. A pyrophoric element is mounted to one of the casing sections and is enclosed by the case when both casing sections are fitted together. A separate striker is also contained within the case and may be used with the pyrophoric element to create sparks. Also included in the case is a tinder which may be removed and ignited by bringing the striker and the pyrophoric element into contact with each other.
