FAQ
1. What can I use as tinder with this ferro rod?
Dry grass, fatwood, char cloth, cotton balls with petroleum jelly—anything that catches a hot spark will work.
2. Does this work in the rain or snow?
Yes. It’s designed to perform in wet, cold, and high-humidity conditions where lighters and matches often fail.

With its thick rod, it provides thousands of strikes, making it a long-term investment for your kit.

The red paracord grip can be unwrapped in emergencies and used for gear repairs, snares, shelter building, and more.
