Light my FireSwedish Flint Fire Starter Ferro Rod Survival Tools SCOUT | Fire Steel Bushcraft Camping Gear | Flint and Steel Fire Starter Kit 2-in-1 Fire Flint and Striker 3,000 Strikes

Great item for making fires. Better than matches.

It does what it says on the tin (box) a fire starter for the outdoors, one of the better ferro rods, durable, the red means you do not loose it (or leave it behind) in the woods. If you need one, get this one!

Took a few attempts to get the hang of lighting but after a bit of practice in the garden soon sussed it.I doubt it'll be my main source, I'll be sticking mostly to my trusty lighter but always good to have a back up and it weighs next to nothing.Makes you feel proper outdoorsy when you use it too!

I would prefer a longer ferro rod personally as your hands can get in the way of seeing what you're doing. It produces great sparks easily. It is however much harder to light shavings than you think ! This is the scout version which has 3000 strikes and is ideal to practice your technique.

Very compact & works very well.

Good item perfect for camping and outdoor activities… very easy to use

Bought as a 'solid' back up to my mini-Bic lighter. I purposely selected this on the basis of it being compact and lightweight. I only received this last night (thank you, quick delivery) and have already used it. Once the protective coating has been removed via approx 20 'strokes' the rod chucks out an impressive array of sparks. It is compact, as known - and I have large hands (glove size 14 - very hard to find) so I would not want to use this for my primary source of ignition but people with smaller hands will not have this issue. The striker also looks a little flimsy but I can always use my pocket knife (etc) as an alternative striker. As I bought this as a back up I am comfortable.

Bought this as a present for my son I had recently been on a little bushcraft/out doors activities outing and I know he likes outdoor stuff. Tried it just the once... Work's perfectly.
