Solo Scientific Aurora Red Survival Fire Starter
Engineered in the USA by Solo Scientific Inc., the Aurora Fire Starter is the pinnacle of fire-starting technology. Whether you're an experienced survivalist, an outdoor adventurer, or someone who prioritises emergency preparedness, this aerospace grade tool guarantees you’ll always have a reliable way to start a fire, no matter the conditions. Trusted by experts and even taken to the top of Mount Everest, the Aurora Fire Starter has proven itself to be the best all-around survival fire starter in the world.
Constructed from solid aircraft-grade aluminium, the Aurora Fire Starter is exceptionally durable and lightweight. Weighing just 45g and measuring a compact 9.14cm in length, it’s the perfect size to carry on your keyring or around your neck on a lanyard. The knurled surface ensures a secure grip, even in the harshest wet weather, making it easy to handle when you need it most. Plus, its O-ring seal prevents corrosion, even in saltwater environments, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
The heart of the Aurora Fire Starter is its 6.35mm composite ferrocerium rod infused with magnesium. When scraped with the built-in fully-hardened stainless steel striking blade, this rod generates sparks hot enough to reach 2760°C (5000°F), ensuring you can start a fire in the toughest conditions, whether it’s wet or dry. The magnesium enhances spark production, ensuring that your fire starts quickly and reliably, even when your tinder is damp from rain, snow, or morning dew.
Unlike other fire starters that use flimsy, separate strikers, the Aurora Fire Starter integrates its striker directly into the body, eliminating rattles or the chance of losing essential pieces in a critical moment. The striking blade is designed for long-term use and can be flipped over to reveal a fresh surface or sharpened as needed, ensuring thousands of reliable strikes. Whether you're camping, hiking, hunting, or caught in a survival situation, this fire starter will be your constant companion, ready to spark a fire whenever you need it most.
