You gotta be able to use a striker first

EXACTLY.

Hold the striker firm and pull the ferro rod towards you much easier to direct the spark into the base of your tinder your striker hand does not move

Nice Vid! Their instructional does state to place Ferro rod on pile, wonder if that would've helped.

That's exactly what you should do.

Your not using the striker correctly. Your supposed to slowly nock off some fine shavings onto your tinder with your striker, like a little powder, then strike the sparks at it

@@ReWyldOutdoors You know how to use a ferro rod yet you where using it incorrectly. As a life long scouter and outdoorsman, your rod should always be sitting in the middle of your tinder period.

haha i laughed at this so much !!! looks like you had good fun with making this video... this is why youtube exists. love it

Great video man. Love the intro and i believe it was a fair test. Just incase theres a hole in the dry bag or your dry box gets crushed. gotta know if its gonna work in the worst of times.

I have watched this intro 5 or 6 times haha. Nice job man!!

Lol right! Can't please them all!

So I just did my own test. I bought a waxed string tinder with a bellows rod, had black beard fire starter I ordered and the waxed jute string I made from watching this video. All three did light and make a flame from the sparks of the fire starter. The two waxed string tenders started a flame immediately from the first sparks, The Blackbeard fire starter took quite a bit longer but did eventually form a flame. I fluffed all three up as much as I could but from my experience the wax string was much easier to get a flame going from the fire starters sparks. Thanks man!

If you had set the ferro rod ONTO the pile and stuck it, you would have had much better success, likely on the first strike.

So I just saw an ad on fb about this fire tinder. I went on KZread to check reviews. Yours was the first one that I clicked on. Just wanted to say great video review and the rain and canoe turning over had me rolling 😂

Honestly idk, that bkack beard fire starter works really well. Just maybe not exactly how they show it. I really prefer my impregnated jute twine though myself! Black beard would be a good back up to have though!

Loved the beginning. I think she liked it, especially the rain part. Hehe That is a cool product. Sounds like a good company. We love the made in U.S.A. Kim and Tom P.S. send it to the next person who comments.

Outstanding Review! I'll give it 4.2 NyNomad stars... The striker stick is magnesium. Do the soaking wet test again but scrape a pile of magnesium dust on/ over the material 1st then scrape hard to get the sparks to start the fire. If it works I'll bump it up to 5!

blackbeard states you hold the striker rod on the product .read instructions and do it right

Howdy; Thank you for all you do. I want it if you still have it. (Joking! LOL! Honestly I figure it is long gone by now.) I watched this right after I saw what looked like "Black beard's" answer video to this. Bud, I could tell in the 1st 10 seconds you was doing it wrong. The "Black beard" video covered exactly what you got wrong, too. FIRST: You GOT to get your ferro rod closer to your tinder. I mean put it right IN the tinder. Some folks say move the striker & some say hold the striker still & move the ferro rod. Either way, put the rod IN the tinder. SECOND: Pa used to say, "Put your back in it boy!" Pa was right. You are a big ol boy so I know you can lean on that thing & put a few pounds of pressure on it. And that will make that rod spark to beat the band. If you go try what I said I think you could prolly light some wet lighterd knots. BTW, I see you got a video about camping on the Suwanee River. I camped & fished there long ago & I got kin there if they ain't all died off. (I'm 65.) I've been hoping to go to the Swamp Park for the Galaxy in the Swamp. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

They have a video on technique on KZread. It also has a trouble shooting section. I could see a problem with your technique based on their video.

Their instructions are to put your rod into the material… hope that helps!

All the fatwood I have access to and yep I carry some with me where ever I go .. and my homemade emergency tinder make up pads I have never failed to get a blaze going .. great of the company to offer to cover your cost on it ,, and awesome that they are an American company .. And I honestly think your water works technician was rather enjoying herself 😂

My man. Your sparks were going all over the place

I think it would have lit with the striker if you were to scrape a small pile of flint onto the blackbeard pile and then tried to spark it. Great video though, keep up the good work. God bless.

You're absolutely right, I was just trying to re-create their promotional video because they show striking the ferro rod once ans getting a flame. Works, just not as easy as portrayed!

A better rod and technique would held.

You gotta know how to strike it. Good job tho.

You did not use firestriker right bro

You're using the striker wrong.

Hate to tell you it does work soaking wet, we have done extensive testing using a tiny schrade Ferro Rod; much smaller than yours. It you go back and look at the way you were striking the rod one, you are holding the striker wrong, and two you never got any real sparks on the rope; put the rod down into the rope. So many people were complaining about their product that they decided to come out with a separate video and share it with us to share. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZhmtZqJdtaTZLA.html

You're supposed to put the ferro rod in the tinder...

No...just no. You’re supposed to hold the striker static near the base of the tinder,and pull the ferro rod back across the striker. Not push the striker across the ferro rod

@@jqcyclops I guess their doing it wrong on their own website then...

Dude, hold the rod down to the fire starter. You're shoot'n sparks over the target.

Striking technique is horrible. Hold the rod tip to the ground and strike down. It'll control the spark much better.

You're holding your striker too far away while trying to light.

Shawn: Put your ferro rod next to your tinder bundle. Lock your striker in place and pull the ferro rod towards directing the sparks towards your tinder or other fire stating material or fat wood. This method works well, but takes practice. Just a suggestion for future videos.

Hahahahaha

Gotta learn how too use your rod lol

Gotta pull steel up not scrape it

Your rod striking sucked. Rest rod on pile, strike with force, instant ignition...

DONT MAKE INSTUCTIONAL VIDEOS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. I USE THAT PRODUCT AND IT LIGHTS ON THE FIRST STRIKE...EVERY TIME. LEARN TO USE THAT FERROS ROD AND MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO.
