Frequently Asked Questions
Which kind of fire starter tool is best for a survival excursion?
The ferro rod striker, in whatever permutation, is your best bet. These survival tools are worth their weight in gold when you’re out there and need a fire fast. Imagine having a tool that does the work for you when you’re cold, wet, hungry, and haven’t pitched your shelter yet.
What is a ferro rod striker made from?
A ferrocerium rod is composed of a sparks-generating alloy containing a mix of rare earth metals. This mix is called “mischmetal”. Containing 21% iron, 42% cerium and 4.4% each of neodymium, magnesium and praseodymium, mischmetal is also 24% lanthanum.
How can I mount a fire starter to my knife sheath?
