Zippo Emergency Fire Kit Key Features

  • Replaceable Flint System: When flint wears out after 1,700 strikes, simply replace it rather than buying a new kit.
  • Directional Spark Control: Unlike ferro rods that scatter sparks, the EFK directs sparks precisely where needed.
  • All-Weather Performance: Functions reliably from arctic to desert conditions without performance degradation.
  • Secure Tinder Storage: Internal compartment protects tinders from crushing while keeping them organized.
  • Visual Identification: Bright red cap makes the kit easy to locate in pack or emergency situations.
Zippo Emergency Fire Kit Pros:
  • Floats and maintains waterproof seal even after 2-day submersion
  • Tinders ignite on first or second strike when properly frayed

Zippo Emergency Fire Kit Cons:
