Hi, I thinking of fitting a GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Source) Bivvy/Zip pull glow in the dark key ring part into a modified Antler handle for a ferro-rod,Anyone know if this idea has been tried or done before,I did email Lightmyfire with the idea.
I've seen glow in the dark Handles and using glow in the dark Glitter/Dust,But not my idea as of yet.
cheers

I don't think I've seen one where the light has been part of the handle. But I've seen plenty with the lights attached with a keyring, which works well. There also good for marking the top and bottom of a tarp, blue at the top and red at the bottom.

I tried last week but Drilled through the Plastic housing of the glow in the dark lite.I've thought of doing it for months but just haven't had the time to complete it.
 
Pic's added of my first go at my idea.
All I have to do is Glue it in.I picked an Orange Light.

I didn't drill all the way through the Antler handle just incase I split it,But on my next version I will so it's visable from 180 degree's/Both side's.
