VacationGrabs adds it to the gear list for campsites, trailheads, and backcountry weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rod measures 4\" (10cm) long and 3\/8\" (10mm) in diameter. It is big enough to give you a solid, easy strike and small enough to slip into a pack or pocket. The sparks reach 5,500 F (3,000 C), so you can light a fire in rain, snow, wind, or at high altitude, even when everything is wet. The ferrocerium rod is waterproof and weatherproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe striker is made from tool grade HSS steel and has 6 striking edges. Its hardness helps produce a generous spray of sparks, and it works just as well whether you scrape with your left hand or your right. A knife of poor quality may not give you enough sparks because its blade is not hard enough. The striker is attached to 5ft of paracord that gives you a good grip and stays on the rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4\" (10cm) ferrocerium rod, 3\/8\" (10mm) diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStriker with 6 striking edges, made from tool grade HSS steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5ft of paracord included, with the striker attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof and weatherproof, with sparks at 5,500 F (3,000 C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to bushcraft, hiking, camping, backpacking, hunting, fishing, EDC, emergency kits, BBQ, and gas camp stoves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also works in the kitchen, and it makes a thoughtful gift for the outdoorsy people on your list or a smart addition to an emergency bug-out bag.

Hold the rod close to the tinder at about a 45-degree angle, place the scraper near the top of the rod, and pull the rod back, away from the tinder, with a slow and steady motion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VacationGrabs","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":50634550706314,"sku":"B00PSGOM32","price":52.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0317\/1840\/8330\/files\/81b4zjefE-L._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1793447532","url":"https:\/\/vacationgrabs.com\/es\/products\/4-survival-ferro-rod-drilled-flint-fire-starter-and-striker-kit","provider":"VacationGrabs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
