# Extendable Fire-Starting Accessories The Vargo Ultimate Camp Fire Starter Gets Fires Going Fast By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-fire-starter References: [werd](http://www.werd.com/36939/vargo-ultimate-fire-starter/) & [amzn.to](http://amzn.to/2goaJVK) Getting a fire going is an essential part of the [camping and outdoors exploration experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-pocketknives), so the Vargo Ultimate Camp Fire Starter enables it to be a quick task. The device weighs just 1.8-ounces (less than a traditional lighter) and consists of a ferro rod that has a striker on the side. This enables users to [create sparks and light kindling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-torch) rather than using other means. After the sparks have been created and [a fire is in the works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-smokeless-fire-pit), the Vargo Ultimate Camp Fire Starter extends up to 18-inches in size to let users blow directly into the heart of the fire. This will expedite the fire-starting process and allow other kindling and wood to catch fire quickly without having to get close and potentially risk injury in the process. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Quick Fire-starting:** The trend of fire-starting accessories that enable quick and efficient fire-starting processes. - **Lightweight Camping Gear:** The trend of designing camping gear that is lightweight and portable for easy carrying and transportation. - **User-friendly Outdoor Tools:** The trend of creating outdoor tools that are easy for users to handle and operate, enhancing their overall experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Equipment:** The outdoor equipment industry could explore the development of compact and efficient fire-starting accessories. - **Camping Gear:** The camping gear industry can benefit from incorporating lightweight and easy-to-use fire-starting tools into their product offerings. - **Adventure Tourism:** The adventure tourism industry can enhance the overall camping and outdoors experience by providing innovative fire-starting solutions to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fire-Starting Outdoor Ropes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zippo-fire-starting-paracord.md) - [Durable Extending Campfire Tongs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetonga-campfire-tongs.md) - [Collapsible Campsite Torches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tripod-torch.md) - [Ultra-Lightweight Camping Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firetower-ti.md) - [Micro-Sized Backpacker Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antarcti-gas-fire-pit.md) - [Fire Pit Starter Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biolite-firepit-essentials-kit.md) - [Portable Propane-Powered Fire Pits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tailgater-x-portable-fire-pit.md) - [Compact Portable Campfire Device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firecan.md) - [Multipurpose Camping Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-lights.md)
