Survival Purpose
Getting a fire started in an emergency when you're relocated to the outdoors is so important. A ferro rod and striker produce intensely hot sparks that can light any dry tinder on fire.
We've tested them and found that the short rods with a small striker are very frustrating. You can get a fire going but you waste a lot of energy. Longer rods produce huge amouns of hot sparks making tinder start right up.
We're not a fan of magnesium bars because you have to scrape them and dull a tool. Besides, the shavings blow away or fall on the ground and you have to start over.
This ferro rod is super effective. Sparks shower at 5,500 F (3,000 C) to ignite a fire in any weather(even wet), at any altitude:
- Rain
- Shine
- Snow
- Wind
- Fallout
- High-altitude
The bright spark can be used as an emergency signal or to deter attackers.
What We Like
- Reliable - Amazing ratings and review indicate great function
- Effective - A well placed spark in the right tinder is a formula for a great fire and you're in business
- Sturdy - a lighter is breakable but a ferro rod is pretty solid
Tips and Recommendations
- Be safe! - don't burn yourself and make your emergency worse
- Keep away from kids - kids love fire but don't respect it - just ask the Scouts
