Directional fire-starting system, method, and device

A system for starting a fire, the system comprising:

• a directional fire-starting device, having a front and a back, comprising
• a tube-shaped housing, defining a longitudinal dimension and further defining a slot extending longitudinally along the tube-shaped housing, the slot having a front end near to the front of the device, the tube-shaped housing further defining a flint chamber, having an open end at the front of the device;
• a flint positioned inside the flint chamber, and separated by void space from the tube-shaped housing, and having a surface portion that extends adjacent to, and is thereby transversely accessible through, substantially the entirety of the slot;
• a striker having a first portion and a second portion, and wherein the first portion is sized to fit through the slot and extend to the flint as the second portion extends from the slot outwardly from the tube-shaped housing, and which is moveable relative the tube-shaped housing and the flint;
• and
• whereby a user may hold the striker by the second portion, extend the first portion through the slot at the back of the slot, and push the striker against the flint material as the striker is rapidly moved from the back to the front of the slot, thereby causing sparks to fly out of the flint chamber open end at the front of the device.
