Survival Flint and Steel - Fire Starter Ferrocerium XL 10mm - Light More Than 15,000 Fires Ferro Rod - Firelighter Included - Firestarter Survival Kit for Camping, Bushcraft (Pine wood)

Being able to light a fire other than using something simple like a lighter has always intrigued me, guess it's the camper in me, which is a long-running hobby since I was a kid. I've watched loads of videos on YouTube how to use this so when this arrived, I arranged a camp with some friends and gave it a go. The black coating on the rod has to be scraped off before the sparks fly but once worn away, you can slide the small piece of metal down the rod and get a nice amount of sparks. The complimentary piece of fatwood has been used and that works brilliantly.

Really pleased with quality,works extremely well 😀 and love the wooden handle and pouch it comes with ! 👌🌲🌳🔥 Definitely recommend

Good quality I wou buy it again and I’d recommend it to anyone

This is perfect if you need children to be able to use it reliably. The ferro rod is suitably soft so you get reliable stream of sparks. While the striker may look like every other product out there, there's a slight burr on the edge which makes an enormous difference to being able to get a good shower of sparks. With a large handle, this is really easy to grip and keep a firm hold, something that makes smaller equivalents very hard for children to use reliably.

Bought for my ‘all things outdoors’ loving 12 year old. Excellent quality, simple to use, gives a great spark and lights my son’s camp stove first time, every time. Love the rustic look and feel to this. Wooden handle is branded nicely and the carry pouch keeps it all safe and protected. Best item ever!! I want one myself. (Grandma wasn’t so impressed when said child gave repeated “spark” demonstrations all round her house on boxing day!! 🤣🤣🥳)

Great for bushcraft

Value for money

Why did you choose this product over others?: Works perfectly, but could do with a handle/padding on the striker too
