I have learned that finding this in my mailbox or on my doorstep means it's going to be a good day. Over the last several months about a dozen of my happiest days have involved one of these.
I've been extremely happy with all previous experiences with that label.
After learning that they do have a few of these in stock... so far today is no exception!
It was a pleasant surprise to find the button compass is now supplied...IIRC the first ones didn't.
I really like how ESEE actually takes the opportunity to go above and beyond to make this product a better tool for the end user. They give it a great ergonomic shape that's easy to keep a grip on under less than perfect conditions, a water-tight storage compartment for tinder and other small items, and they even give the user some useful information to read and go by at a time when they may be stressed out and not thinking too clearly.
I've been seeing what all I can get in it. So far I've got a piece of fatwood enough to use for tinder for a few fires under dry conditions (in which case I most likely wouldn't need to use it) and one fire for sure under wet conditions maybe two. I've also got a small capsule with some fish hood and split shot and I have room for fishing line.
I think there is room for some ibuprofen and pseudo-ephedrine with as much pollen as there is in the air here right not that could be a really good thing. The truck was just washed and waxed two days ago.
Starting the first fire I used a piece of a really large dead Pine tree....that's all fatwood...for tinder, and some dry Cedar limbs for fuel and had a little fire very quickly.
I like it much better than the ones I've tried that simply have a huge logo engraved onto the side of a slick aluminum cylinder. So far this ESEE fire starter is definitely my favorite of all the "full-sized" "user" systems currently available on the market. I plan to get it out in the woods this weekend and try it out a little more and I can't wait.

It is a hard rod though.
