Using this Gerber fire starter is easy. First, take out the tinder from the waterproof storage compartment. Then, hold the ferrocerium rod firmly and use the metal striker to create sparks over the tinder. Once the tinder catches fire, you can start building your larger fire. When using the emergency whistle, blow into it sharply to produce a loud 100 - decibel sound for signaling. Remember to keep the fire starter dry as much as possible. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly before using it again. Also, make sure the lanyard is securely attached to your backpack or key - chain so you don't lose it. Regularly check the tinder in the storage compartment to ensure it's still dry and usable.
