notice a trend in it everyone... two of everything having to do with fire? i've heard of firesteal breaking in half, i've had flints fall off of mag bars, packs of matches last twice as long when you have twice as many Fire is one of the most important aspects of survival in my opinion (water/fire/shlter in no particuluar order)

I'm not counting firestarters, I'm just including ignition systems. Like flint, lighter, and matches.
