    I looked at the Kelty Noah on Woot and it was actually cheaper on Amazon with Prime. I got one for my GF.

    Not a tarp, but these come out to $12 each which is $5 less per ferro than Amazon.

    Angry False Advertising on Woot

    Be advised that though these are listed as the Army 2.0 model, I received an email from Woot this afternoon informing me that what was actually shipped is the 1.0 version. The ferrocerium rod is the same in both models. However, the scraper that comes with the 2.0 is vastly different. The handle and scraper on the 1.0 are the same as on the Coghlans and I can pick that up for $3. The 2.0 scraper is enough better to be worth it to me.

    The 2.0 scraper allows me to use what I call the "Turn Key" method of ferro scraping. The Turn Key method is when we hold the scraper flat against the ferro with our off hand thumb, about an inch back from the tip of the ferro, then generate the sparks with a rapid twist of our wrist. The same motion as quickly turning a key in a lock. While this scraping method only works well with the better tinders (because it throws many sparks and few molten globs) it avoids scattering the tinder pile. Kids and beginners find it easier and more fun than traditional methods of scraping a ferro.

    Anyhow, I just left a request for a full refund with Woot.

    Email from Woot Customer Service:

    "We saw that you recently ordered a Light My Fire FireStarter from us and we think that’s awesome!

    There’s just one problem: we accidentally listed the FireStarter on our site as the 2.0 model when we actually only have the 1.0 model. These FireStarters are the same, except that they don’t have a rubber grip on the scraper and they don’t come with a built-in whistle.

    We feel super bad about our mistake, so to make it right, we’re going to knock $5 off of the price of the FireStarter. The money will be refunded directly to your original payment method."



    By the way, the handle on both the ferro and the scraper on the Army 2.0 model is a well designed hard plastic with an ergonomic thumb scallop. Not rubber.




    Edited to add: Shop with confidence. Woot issued a full refund.

    Quite welcome! I am glad someone was able to benefit from it.
