Outdoor Element’s Fire Flute may not be the biggest or heaviest outdoor gadget out there, but it certainly packs a punch in terms of functionality. We didn’t get the chance to see it at Overland Expo West this year, but the description of the company and its innovative gear caught our attention.
The Fire Flute is a compact tool that includes a fire starter rod, watertight cache, and emergency whistle all in a sleek body about the size of a Sharpie. Despite its lightweight design, weighing just under 50 grams, it is designed to assist with survival situations in the wilderness.
The aluminum handle of the Fire Flute unscrews to reveal a storage capsule for tinder and an emergency whistle that can reach up to 120 decibels. The tool also includes a striker for the ferro rod, allowing for easy ignition of the provided wax-coated cotton tabs. Each tab burns for about four to five minutes, providing ample time to start a fire in emergency situations.
Priced at a reasonable $24.95, the Fire Flute is a cost-effective option for those looking to add a reliable fire-starting tool to their outdoor gear collection. Its lightweight design makes it a practical addition to any ultralight packing list, ensuring that you are prepared for unexpected situations in the wilderness.
