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 !!

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.

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.

The go tubes are genius!

Yay! Another vid from Chris! Love seeing your notifications pop up.

Just went on Amazon and bought the Sharpal 101 6-in-1 because of this video. Looks like a good sharpening kit and easy fire starter all for under $10. Thanks for the video. Never would have come across this product without you.

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.

I keep a couple of fire starters on me everyday. I have a UST Strike Force and an Ozark Trails 5 in 1 knife in my backpack, a Quick Spark fire starter from Lifeline I keep in my pocket and a couple Paracord bracelets.

Love your passion and always outstanding reviews,especially for people just starting out in prep's or bushcrafting or for the guy like myself sitting here with a broken back and can't do anything my preps are on hold but love you videos keep up the great work and God bless🖒🇺🇸🕇

They all seemed pretty good to me. It really comes down to choosing the one you think will fit your need best. If the rod doesn't work then it is probably a user error and not a product error.

Very interesting! I liked seeing all those different options.

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 mixed tinders tube's. Is a great idea and if you use those right a tube or 2 will do a lot of fire's and keep the material safe

If we would admit it, we'd have to say that the majority of "survival gear" out there on the market is designed to sell products, not actually work.

Very good informative video.

Great video guys love the go tunes where did you get the magnesuim dust

I love your suggestions, and I've tried a few of what you mentioned, and they are great. One of my favorites wasn't on the list, so I'm excited to tell you. 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. :)

I use plain jane firesteels - like you said the 1/2" x 6" is typical. But I also have a few smaller ones like 5/16"x4". I wrap some Gorilla duct tape on one end that I can use as tinder.

Awesome firesteels man
