This fire-starting pen by Smith & Wesson is definitely mightier than the sword. On their own, pens are essential devices to have in the wilderness. When you can't jot a note down or draw a map on your smartphone, pen and paper are essential survival tools. What makes this super pen even more awesome than a regular one is its ability to also light fires.
The dual-purpose writing utensil is crafted in aircraft aluminum and equipped with a built-in ferro-rod to get your campfire going. For extra portability, the pen can be unscrewed and reconfigured into a smaller keychain-friendly version. This is surely something you'll want to take on your next camping trip for when inspiration strikes or the need to start a fire arises.
