FireSteel Ranger

excellent rod, perfect size. lots of sparks

I was wanting to make a small fire kit to put in the fold of my wallet. This FireSteel that's 1/4" thick, 2-1/2" long (same length as a dollar bill is wide) is the perfect size! I then wrapped it with cotton, then painter's tape on the outside. Perfect to start a fire (sparked with a pocket knife) in an emergency!

FireSteel's ferrocerium rods are the absolute best, whether shaving of magnesium to get things going in damp weather, or striking a spark. I've tried a lot and these are now all I use.

A little fat wood and a lot of sparks and.......FUEGO

Great tool. I give them out to my Hunter Ed students. They get to practice and are thrilled to get their own.

So I have to admit, I found their website completely by accident when I was researching where to buy a fire steal from, I guess there’s no coincidence there. So what I was looking to do is build a kit for my fall hikes and winter hikes that would give me more flexibility with my fire starting methods. I had tried a bunch of them before from online retailers mostly, cheap stuff off of Amazon, and I’m not afraid to admit it. The quality of these fires steels however, gives me much more peace of mind in knowing that I’m adding a higher quality piece to my kit. You really won’t be disappointed in trying any of their products and in a pinch it’s great knowing you have the best version of whatever you need on hand.

Excellent product good spark lights easily.

Very impressed with the quality of the sticker & the massive Flint that was included.

the pup ferro rods work great . I have been practicing with my firesteel mag bar using wax paper making fine shavings from the mag bar to start the fire .
