    I have used shavings from a sharpener before and I can have a fire pretty quick with my firesteel. I found out about the pencl sharpeners a long time ago, and have kept one in my bag for camping also.
    Take only what you need, and leave the rest.

    It sound like a good idea!

    However I have a question. Do you carry pencils to make the tinder or do you take your knife and wittle a stick small enough to fit in the pencil sharpener and then use the wittlings also as a fire base?

    Hey, Bulrush. You can toss the electric pencil sharpener in your BOB but you'll have to have a really looooooong extension cord. Unless you bug out to the back yard. Then not so long.

    Great idea and, as a noble American often says....if it works for you.........
