All the people criticizing the video for not just carrying a lighter, BUT.. Ferro rod & striker can come right out of water and work, function at 50 below 0, and I’m sure can be taken on an airplane without any suspicious looks…. Plus, it’s just plain FUN and satisfying to know how to use these !!

@saltycat662 2 года назад

@nickoleli437 2 года назад

Funny story though. I had a firesteel kit on a plane and the officer completely ignored my lighter but had loads of questions for his superior about whether firesteels are permissible -_-

@extraSPARErib 2 года назад

Yea, but, what about just carrying a liter, you know, because it is a lighter?

Exactly and those who say that also never tried to use a lighter when its -20 degrees celcius out, ive tried and no matter how good your butane torch or bic is it wont work unless you keep it warm in an inside pocket.

@johncostello 5 лет назад

Nice one Chris. Enjoyed looking at your collection of firesteel. One thing I've found is that the bigger firesteel are easier for kids to handle and learn with. You showed a good selection. The clear tubes are an excellent idea and one I'll be adding to my firekit. I'm curious to see if they'll be suitable for charcloth as it's a really cheap form of tinder for me along with Sisal (jute twine) processed into its individual strands in another tube.

Keep in mind that alot of people live off the grid in the middle of nowhere. Ferro rods and magnesium bars are a good backup for when your lighters run out of fuel and you won't be back in town anytime soon.

It is a cool idea indeed! There is a product called Keep2 Go tubes that ive used for different things, including to keep the Fiberlight stuff that Chris had in this video. Same concept he was saying about keeping it waterproof and secure, but they have a loop on the cap, so u could even use the lanyard to carry it around ur neck.

The company Schrade has amazing Ferro rods I initially was testing out there knives and axes, but most of them come with a rod, and I was amazed how well they worked. Its more of a soft one but last a long time and throws some big sparks. I highly recommend you check them out if you haven't already. My favorite are the ones that come with there axes, but they are all the same, just different in size. :)
