Flint and Steel Fire Starter Kit for Camping/Hiking- [6 x 1/2 Inch] Ferro Rod Fire Starter Survival Tool with Striker/TinderQuik/Paracord/Whistle- All-in-one Magnesium Fire Starter- Ignition System

THIS ferro rod is large enough to hold comfortably, to manipulate with bare OR gloved hands and the paracord tie helps grip, hold on to the rod and get the longest strike out of the rod. Terrific shower of hot sparks, very quick to ignite any manufactured tinder products, and also very successful on dried wood shavings and baked birch bark. If you run out of matches and you're well practiced with this rod you'll be fine. Manufactured tinder items are most strongly recommended, such as Tinder Quick firestarting tabs, Pyro Putty, or similar tinder products. Haven't attempted this with WetFire tinder which is fabulous with matches, but we will shortly.

I love this gadget, which I found perfect for fastening to my belt loop with a metal clip and starting a roaring fire with just a small amount of tinder. Very reliable and simple to use, especially for a novice outdoorsman like myself. If you’re into camping this gadget would be a “must-have” on my list. Highly recommended product!

This product is top of the line all around. The size makes it suitable to last a long time, the sparks produced are superior to any other rod I’ve used, and the price is fantastic!

The media could not be loaded.  I've practice with it. Works great.

The 6 inch flint and still fire starter shipped super fast and was better than I expected. The paracord is great quality and well done and the flint and still are perfect size compared to the tiny ones that are hard to use, this one is easy to grip and strike. Started a fire within minutes if getting it. :)

Works great, easy on the wallet. It’s much bigger than expected, which makes it easier to use.

The best ferro rod I have ever had. The length means I can generate some serious sparks and put them where I want them. The long paracord attachment allows me to fold it in and grip it with the rod. I have arthritis so that extra bit helps me get a good solid grip and allows for better control. The tool has a nice sharp edge and throws beautiful chunky sparks. I have been playing with it and practicing as I teach my son how to use a farro rod and with a properly processed tinder bundle it’s has work on the first scrap more often than not. This is now my main fire starting tool in my field kit.

This product is easy to use. It provides lots of sparks to get your fire started quickly. It conveniently comes with a striker that works well. It is well made and appears very durable.
