Metal Match...the "reliable fire starter" & "an outdoor must have."
Striking the attached steel blade against this metal stick (a combo of several materials) allows a user to make a spark hot enough to ignite many different types of tinders..."down" from several plants, pitch, shaved wood, cotton balls, etc. In fact, ERI recommends saturating cotton balls with Vaseline as a reliable fire starting tinder. If you prepare your materials properly, you can start over 500 fires from our Metal Match.

Pre-Mac "Trekker" (PWP) Personal Water Purifier
The PWP is a true water purifier. It provides both filtration, disinfection and removes bacteria, viruses and cysts. Water purifiers are not for use with salt water.
ERI is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to be associated with PreMac and its distribution efforts in the U.S. We have personally tested the PreMac "Trekker" Personal Water Purifier and found it to be of exceptional quality and performance. We have watched it beat other filters "hands down" in head to head comparisons. International travelers, backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts will find the PWP a must item for their travels and adventures.

Pre-Mac Pocket Travel Well Personal Water Purifier (SWP)
Pocket Travel Well SWP is designed to meet specific requirement for treatment of water in emergency or survival conditions. Using the proven filtration and sterilization system of Pre-Mac's highly successful PWP, Pocket Travel Well will provide safe drinking from contaminated sources. Size and weight have been kept to a minimum for inclusion in emergency ration packs. Not for use with salt water.
The SWP is convenient to use and will not block due to its high filtration capability and in-built pump. The rated capacity of Pocket Travel Well is 50 liters, at which point it should be discarded.
The effectiveness of Pocket Travel Well has been proven in tests carried out by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. In these tests total elimination of the bacteria Escherichia coli at 108.4 per liter was recorded while reductions of Poliovirus in excess of 99.9%, with a holding time of 2 minutes, were recorded. This effectiveness is maintained throughout the stated treatment capacity of 50 liters.

- Metal Match with handle, leather lanyard, and steel "striker" similar to a hacksaw blade. As the photos demonstrate, put pressure on steel blade and strike it along Metal Match to achieve a healthy spark. A little practice helps.
- Hunting knife and mallet technique for splitting firewood into small pieces before lighting fire. Finding or preparing enough small firewood is an often overlooked step. Make sure your initial flame has the kindling and fuel necessary to grow into a respectable fire.
- Platform & brace, cotton ball saturated with Vaseline, and aiming the Metal Match to ignite the cotton ball. Since it is the small threads of cotton that initially catch fire from a spark, pull your cotton ball apart and spread it out before lighting.
- Metal Match spark igniting cotton ball. Note brace (larger piece of wood) to left of cotton ball helps prevent your kindling from suffocating the burning cotton ball.
- Result of your efforts. Remember, "practice makes perfect", even in rainy and windy weather.
