Zippo ZO30072 Emergency Fire Kit

I received this emergency lighting kit through the Spark Reviewer program and I am glad I did. What a good idea. It seemed kind of silly When I first received it, but I changed my mind once I used it. It contains 5 white disks filled with a jell fuel that doesn’t rub off on your hands and doesn’t smell. Insert the end of a stick through the center of the disk, loosen the material of the disk slightly to allow Airflow, and use the flint to stike a fire. We then tried to blow out the fire. We were able to eventually blow it out, but it was difficult. I believe this will work great at all those times it was too windy to to start a fire to cook out without it.

I have been acquiring various items for an emergency evacuation kit for the last couple of years mostly due to the likelihood of hurricanes where I live and, lets face it, the potential breakdown of infrastructure. This fits the bill perfectly! The Zippo Emergency Fire Kit is compact, wind resistant, water proof (it even floats) is easy to ignite and fits in your pocket. Zippo lighters have been around for years and this is as reliable as they have been. You can also buy replacement wax coated starters which is a very good idea. All in all I am very pleased to add this to my kit.

I do a lot of camping and backpacking and usually have no problem starting a fire. But there have been times where is can be tricky with bad weather. This little device is a life saver. I was deep in the woods and my matches got wet.Thankfully, I had my Zippo fire kit clipped to my backpack. I pulled out the little tinder roll included in the kit, placed it on a stick and flicked the flint wheel, and it started immediately. The cotton tinder roll lasted several minutes, just long enough to make a nice fire. My hiking friends were very impressed and now carry it with them whenever in the woods.

It doesn't look like much but this Zippo Emergency fire kit could be a saving for you in many cases. Living in the country and never knowing if the power is going out and you need to light a fire or candles and can't find matches you have this to relay on as its compact does not take up any space so to speak and is ready to go. Another use is for outdoor grills or fire pits just in case you stuck with no light or matchs, plus this would be a campers delight. Yes the Zippo Emergency Fire kit can do it all when it comes to light up tiem.

This Zippo fire kit is so compact you can carry it anywhere. It will even fit in your pocket. It is water and wind resistant and it even floats. I personally do not go camping, but I do go boating and this kit will be in my tackle box. It has a loop on the lid so you can even just hang it on a hook in a handy spot. There is no need for butane or lighter fluid so there is no possibility of anything to leak!! This is not a item for children so keep in a safe place. It includes 6 separate specially treated disks that will ignite when you use the wick to make a spark. I recommend this product but use with caution.

Features included:Zippo (quality reputation) flint spark wheel;5 easy lightweight paraffin wax-coated cotton spark tinder; ignites with spark or flame and burns up to 5 minutes; ergonomic design with textured grip; water-resistant storage; floats in water; molded lanyard hole. As an outdoorsmen and survival reality TV show junkie I have always want my own fire starter and when I had a chance to try one of these I was very excited. As we all know, getting a fire started quickly can be a matter of life and death. The Emergency Fire Kit (EFK) comes through when others turn back. Fire up your campsite or anything in the event of an emergency at a moment's notice as the EFK's compact and high-caliber construction packs enough punch to overpower bleak conditions. Great idea including the cotton as your tinder to ensure you can start a fire in most if not all circumstances. Recommend each home have one of these for just in case.

Cool design. There are better fire starters out there but this is still handy to have. Bigger than other fire starters on the market but this still has a place in a kit. Most people will use this wrong. Directions not clear. The arrow is the direction the sparks should fly NOT the direction you turn the flint/thumb wheel. It will spark both ways but when used correctly produces more sparks more accurately. I got this for under 8 bucks and is well worth it. Happy with purchase.

I am so excited about this Zippo Emergency Fire Kit. It is something I have wanted to keep available in my home in case of an emergency ever since the news showing so many natural disasters. I want to be able to start a fire quickly and easily. It is water resistant so it will still work in extremely damp conditions or even direct rain. It uses a flint spark wheel so it is very easy to get a strong ignition to get a fire going quickly. The storage case floats in water. It has a textured grip to make it easier to grasp. It also comes with a molded lanyard attachment. This kit is reusable. The ignition spark is wind resistant. This fire-starting kit is something I think should be in my vehicles as well as my home. It is an extremely useful tool for anyone who camps or hikes. All outdoor sports or activities should have one available in case of need. I plan to buy enough to keep everywhere one could be needed. I do recommend the Zippo Emergency Fire Kit to anyone who wants to be prepared to “save the day or night” if the need should arise. Zippo makes very reliable products.

The Zippo Emergency Fire Kit is an excellent addition to any emergency kit. This is designed to save the day. Some features are water resistance, a reliable spark, portability,its ergonomic design. It is small and compact making it easily packable & carrying for camping,hiking,back packing etc. It performs as advertised. I can recommend this product as a must have.

I can’t speak on how well this kit really is because I could never get the tinders to spark. This kit is compact for easy travel and seems like a good idea for starting a fire outside. After following directions and several attempts, I was not able to spark the tinder, so this does not work for me.
