flint and steel
Spark-making kit
Flint and steel is a fire-starting method using a hard stone struck against steel to produce sparks.
The sparks ignite tinder, which is then coaxed into flame.
Before matches, this was the standard way to make fire: He carried flint and steel in his pack.
The phrase evokes self-reliance and primitive survival skills.
