## Description

desertcart.com: bayite 4 Inch Survival Ferrocerium Drilled Flint Fire Starter, Ferro Rod Kit with Paracord Landyard Handle and Striker, 4"(Long) x 3/8"(Diameter) : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Spectacular - As a big fan of Survivor and The Walking Dead, I picked this up mostly “just in case,” and I’m really glad I did. The quality of this ferro rod is excellent—it’s solid, well-sized at 4 inches long and 3/8 inch thick, and feels like it will last through countless strikes. The included striker works great, producing a huge spark every time with very little effort. I tested it on some dry tinder, and it caught quickly, which gives me confidence it would perform in a real survival or camping situation. The drilled rod and paracord lanyard make it easy to carry, and the handle provides a secure grip for consistent strikes. Overall, this is a durable, reliable fire starter that’s fun to practice with and practical to keep in a pack or emergency kit. If you’re a survival enthusiast—or just want to be prepared—it’s a simple, effective tool that really delivers.
Review: Great Fire Starter for Young Scouts – Safe, Fun, and Effective! - We got this fire starter for my 10-year-old son who just joined the Boy Scouts, and it’s been a fantastic tool for teaching him basic outdoor skills. It’s the perfect size for his hands, and easy enough to use with a little guidance — but still gives him that sense of independence and accomplishment. The sparks are strong and reliable once he got the hang of the motion, and it’s great practice for learning fire safety and survival basics. The materials feel sturdy, and it’s held up well after multiple camping trips and backyard practice sessions. Most importantly, it strikes a good balance between being safe for a beginner and still functional enough to actually start a fire when needed. Pros: Kid-friendly size and design Sparks reliably with practice Durable and well-made Great for teaching outdoor safety and skills Fun and confidence-building for young scouts Cons: Requires supervision at first (as expected) Highly recommend for any young Scout or beginner learning outdoor skills. It’s a great starter tool that builds confidence and responsibility!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have magnesium**
A: Yes. Ferrocerium rod is made from Iron, Magnesium and mostly of an alloy of rare earth metals called mischmetal with an excellent pyrophoric percentage : 98%min.

**Q: Can you scrape pieces of the rod into your kindling with the striker itself? Or only use it to strike?**
A: My experience with this rod is you cannot scrape off bits of rod material like the inexpensive fire starters you can get at Harbor Freight.  BUT... you do not need to.  Striking this rod produces some very strong and hot sparks.  I have had no problems starting a fire by striking sparks into a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly.

**Q: What is the country of manufacturer?**
A: It is made in China.

**Q: Approximately how many strikes will it last?**
A: This Ferro Rod showers sparks! Of course, you have to scrape the top layer off first.  I only scrape off about 20% of the coating so the coating to extend the life of the rod.  I agree that this Rod should provide 100's of strikes...even though the company says 1,000's.  Excellent product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow does this thing throw sparks! FOLLOW UP EDIT 2/4/2021
*by J***G on June 16, 2020*

We got this for a camping trip to Boundary Waters Canoe Area as a back-up fire starter. I am so impressed with the amount of spark this thing throws with just minimal effort! It is now my primary fire starter. If I could only take two items in a survival scenario this would be #2 next to a great water filter. Here is the rundown on why I love it: * It is an insane value given it's quality and ability to start a fire. I have payed more and gotten a lot less in other products. * This works even when your gear gets wet. Just keep some dry tender and/or companion magnesium powder. * Operation is simple and predictable. My kids can even use it. * The thing is sized so you wont lose it but small and light enough that it will not encumber you. * Packaged well, shipped promptly, great product/customer support. The only wrinkle I had with it was my own fault. The ferro rod comes with a protective coating/paint that has to be scraped off before it will spark. Took me like 4 seconds to realize this and then it was no factor. I hope this helps you make an informed decision or maybe a deformed incision... ~Mahalo 2/4/2021 FOLLOW UP I lost my ferro rod! I was going to shoot a video of this thing in action and realized I lost it on my last camping trip.. Without a doubt I will order this one again, I love it so much. Other rods out there don't even tempt me after using this one. I see a lot of reviews condemning the striker. The striker may not be the most ergonomic but please keep in mind it is an intentionally engineered product. The steel in the striker is a specific steel with a specific composition and hardness. A different striker may not produce the same shower of sparks.
