The present invention relates to a multipurpose tool for numerous uses while camping, hunting, backpacking, hiking, or other outdoor activities. The tool features a dual-edged shovel head which is attached to a handle using a pike. The pike allows a pivotable movement of the shovel head relative to the handle and a knob is configured to lock the shovel head in unfolded and folded positions. The tool features a built-in sleeve for a magnesium fire starter, a concealed compartment for holding a saw wire, and a small circular aluminum holder having holes for accommodating a plurality of detachable steel tools including a hammer, a pickaxe, a crowbar, and a chisel. A pole portion extends from the handle using a circular lever to increase a length of the tool and a button secures to a hole to secure and lock the pole portion in the extended state.

A fire starter includes a casing made from a first material a first material having a first time associated therewith that defines a length of time that the casing burns after being ignited. A second material disposed in the casing has a second time associated therewith that defines a length of time that the second material burns after being ignited. An igniter, disposed in the casing and adjacent to the second material, generates a first thermal event to ignite the second material wherein the second material combusts to define a second thermal event that ignites the first material. An actuator is coupled to the igniter and is positioned outside of the casing for activating the igniter to generate the first thermal event.

An igniter apparatus for igniting a tobacco-based product having a sensitized tip. The igniter apparatus includes a first member and a second member cooperatively defining a chamber having sides supporting an abrasive. The first member and second member are biased at a first position with a bias element and movement of the first member toward the second member compresses the bias element, reduces the size of the chamber, and thereby decreases the distance between the abrasives located at the side of the chamber. Insertion of the tobacco based product in the first position locates the sensitized tip adjacent to the abrasives. Compression of the bias element reduces the size of the chamber such that the sensitized tip contacts the abrasive. Removal of the tobacco-based product from the reduced-in-size chamber ignites the sensitized tip, thereby lighting the tobacco-based product for smoking.
