Bear Grylls Fire-steel fix:
In this guide I will show you how you can fix the Bear Grylls fire-steel.
The Bear Grylls fire steel is a wonderful piece of kit. it produces lots of sparks, comes in a waterproof cylinder, and even has a compartment to store some cotton wool. However it has one major flaw, this is tat the O-ring provided is not glued on, so when you use the supplied striker, it falls of. This makes it very easy to loose even though it is bright orange.
