Everything This Camping Company Makes Can Start Fires

We don't consider ourselves pyromaniacs, but we certainly like fire. Pyrophiles, maybe. As long-time aficionados of combustion, we've never seen a brand embrace the allure of fire in a way that is almost innocent—just like the first time you set a bunch of stuff on fire. With a ton of camping essentials, Sweden's Light My Fire paints a picture of combustion in the same vein as a grandfather teaching the basics.

Here're some of our favorite bits. It's August and winter's coming. You better know how to stay warm.

Swedish FireSteel 2.0- $14
This little magnesium fire-starter creates enormous sparks large enough to set your tinder or propane alight. Essentially good for an infinite number of strikes, it has a built-in emergency whistle, just in case.

Swedish FireKnife- $28
Oh, you want that fire-starter attached to a big fat knife? Well, here you go.

Grandpa's FireGrill- $22
Sometimes a grill is just too much. Sometimes you want to get back down to basics and cook over an open fire. Paring the grill down to its bare essentials—a grate—the Grandpa's FireGrill throws it way back.

Grandpa's FireFork- $10
If Grandpa's FireGrill is just too modern for you, throw it back even further and cook your meat the old fashioned way—on a stick—before spits, ovens, and microwaves ruined everything.

Tinder on a Rope - $7
Don't have any newspaper or birch bark? Well this piece of fatty wood attached to a rope has you covered. Just use your FireKnife to shave off a few bits and you're good to go.

Titanium Spork- $13
Perfect for tiny apartments or the wilderness, nothing consolidates silverware like a titanium spork. Good for stabbing fish or eating instant oatmeal.
