Story Stranded on an island in the South Pacific? Cut to the victorious fire dance. Remember when Tom Hanks's character in Cast Away chafes his hands raw rubbing sticks together for half a day? What if he had had, say, the power to strike 5,500º F molten sparks in any weather at any altitude? And a 6-function multi-tool scraper and hardwood grip attached to a 550 paracord lanyard? He certainly would've been dancing around his fire a little sooner had he recovered one of Uberleben's best-selling ferro rods.
