The compact Sparkie Fire Starter from Ultimate Survival Technologies. This is a clever one hand use self contained flint and steel fire starter. We were recently given the opportunity to review these fire starters and these are the initial photographs we took before using them. These are just over two inches when closed and have a solid loop for attaching a lanyard or keyring. These are available in either orange or tan color with black trim.

Between 60 & 70% of US tungsten consumption is used in the manufacture of new carbide. Last year, tungsten recovered from scrap accounted for 31% of tungsten consumption by US processors and end users. 
The rest was imported; 43% of the import was from China. China has approximately 65% of the worlds known tungsten reserves and last year produced 86% of the newly mined tungsten, world wide. 

China is also the worlds largest tungsten consumer. The Chinese Government, in order to conserve its resources and meet its increasing domestic demand, has limited tungsten production and exports while increasing tungsten imports. These policies are expected to continue.

We made two slings (for throwing rocks) out of 550 cord. We found the idea and instructions on the EDC Forum. Both of these were easy to assemble. The tan version uses two cords, the black one was made from just one length of 550 cord. The tan two cord version is larger and longer, but either can be made larger or smaller.

We headed out to the mountains above Tucson, AZ to review gear and test some night vision equipment. The green pictures are taken through night vision in complete darkness. We were very happy with the quality and durability of this set up. 
We will evaluate all these items more fully as time goes on. Stay tuned for reviews of each of these items. 

For now, here is a run down on the gear in the photos, and the retail costs to equip an operator with this highest level of night fighting gear

We use these small plastic tripods to hold and point our digital cameras.The tripods fold up and weigh almost nothing so they can be carried in a camera bag or backpack. These along with a timer setting on the shutter like most digital cameras now offer make this a very effective tool for taking self portraits and getting high quality photos that might not be possible when holding the camera
