Bc of this I'll be buying some of your products in the next few months. Appreciate everything you do to help us all be prepared to enjoy camping and in worst cases survive being lost. Thank you.

    I saw this posted on a forum a couple of months ago by someone else, and it's a good idea. You can also use this trick for any tinder. Just lay your Ferro Rod against a stick as shown above, pin your tinder down with that stick, and strike away! That's how I do it, anyway.

    hi Dan, I recently had an epiphany! I was sharpening a pencil with a regular pencil sharpener, and figured the shavings looked like decent tinder. so I sharpened a twig and it worked and also figured the twig could double as a tent peg maybe.. anyway I found out on KZread that I didn't invent this idea. But I didn't see a coalcracker version? wondered if you heard of that?

    Why does nobody ever mention the stationary knife method? If you keep your knife/scraper stationary where you want the sparks to land, and then pull your ferro-rod back against it, your sparks will stay in the exact spot you want them throughout the entire pull.
