    Where can I but a decent ferrorod striker?

    Exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Regarding sturdiness. In my experience more than enough. And steel just doesn't come close to how ceramic bites the ferrocerium.

    Where can I but a decent ferrorod striker?

    I had a go with ceramic scrapers and they are incredible. I would love a ceramic or tungsten striker. Not a big fan of the hacksaw blades either.

    Where can I but a decent ferrorod striker?

    There is plenty of ferrorods out there in every possible size. But I'm struggling to find a standalone striker. Need something to save my knife when I play with my firesteels. I know I can make one from a piece of hacksaw etc but do you know of anything I can actually buy?

    Wanted Titanium cup 450ml.

    Looking for a titanium cup in 450ml capacity (not 400ml or 420ml). Don't care about the brand or weight, cheaper the better. Can't be fire scorched. Thanks.

    Carrying your fire steel

    Doesn't look great on a tiny neck knife but you will get the idea. Piece of inner tube. Lets you fit a variety of items from a lighter to a ferrorod and for example mini light. And at the same time you have a some emergency waterproof tinder and a source of ranger bands.

    Fire kit, am I missing something.

    Unfortunately no. They actually take it on trips, often as a part of even bigger "Survival kit". Honestly, I'm all for gadgets and bling. But some YT videos boggle the mind. Just search "survival kit", "EDC kit" or "fire kit".

    Fire kit, am I missing something.

    It's just a random picture from google search. But it looks like some kind of folding saw. Popular item in those elaborate kits. That would be my bet.

    Fire kit, am I missing something.

    Can't recommend this 8 episodes mini series enough. I have a ferro rod, but only for fun and one of my backups.

    Fire kit, am I missing something.

    From what I have seen on YT this is one of the more reasonable kits. Couple of solid sources of fire, but I don't like the fragmentation in the tinder department. But it would be a great starter kit so experiment with various tinders and when you are done you will be left with few solid...

    Fire kit, am I missing something.

    Recently reviewed my fire kit, piled up everything fire related and kept what I was actually using, barely a handful of stuff. Nothing if you compare this to what people are showing on the internet: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fire+kit Some of those kits must weight 2-3lbs...

    DIY firerod on a watchband.

    Little DIY project that came out surprisingly nice. You can buy various size firesteels on ebay, this one is 4mm in diameter and I cut it to size with the hacksaw (1" length). Added ceramic striker and one piece of "tinderquick" and wrapped everything in duck tape (2 independent wraps). I was...

    What bombproof tinder?

    After trying few options I ended up with scraps of inner tube. Free, light, durable and waterproof, burns hot and hard. And the biggest thing is I can shape it to my container so I have few circles at top and bottom of my exotac matchcap cushioning the matches, and on the outside ranger band...
