Survival gear expert Doug Ritter has a great post about Spot’s hardware update on his Equipped to Survive blog. It’s not a gear review, though he’s gone point by point over the updates providing excellent context for each of the changes to the device.

This is for all you survival geeks out there – a new one-handed fire starter that weighs just under an ounce.
The Ultimate Survival Technologies Sparkie weighs about three times less than the popular Blast Match and is also more compact.
The spring-loaded striker stores inside the orange or tan handle and pops out with a light squeeze.
