Survival Fire Starter, 4 Inch Ferro Rod, Flint Fire Starters for Hiking and Camping, Flint and Steel Survival Tool with Paracord and Emerge

Great little tool, was easily able to start a fire with it.

A bit tricky to get the hang of, but once you do, it works as designed. Definitely practice though because there’s a learning curve, and believe me, you don’t want to find that out when getting a fire going is of the utmost importance. I have one in with the camping equipment, one in the car, and another in the disaster box at the house. Not much day to day value unless you are an avid outdoorsman, but it’s inexpensive, small and easy to store. Good to have in case of emergency.

Good price , stout rod, I’ve broke many others while using, this one is a really good thickness. The whistle and cord are just a bonus

I wish there were instructions with this, because I watched a ton of videos and thought for the longest time I had a dud. In reality, you have to scrape the black coating that is painted on it off first to expose the silver color below and then you get a really nice spark. Once I figured that out, it worked fine, but there was no instructions to explain that and I wasn't pressing hard enough to remove the black coating at first. Even when I did press hard enough to scrape off the coating, it didn't spark, so I was worried I was just ruining it, but on the second scrape through, I got a good spark.

Put it in my emergency to go bag. Works great.

Searched for a while for a decent fire stick and this is the winner. Easily makes GIANT sparks. You should have no trouble getting an ember. Paracord with emergency accessories is a very solid bonus. Durable and great value.

The media could not be loaded. Recommended for go to camping. I used at the product one time, is it is as if it were new.

Exactly what I wanted
