Hi all im looking at making some ferro rods with my explorer scouts I've been looking around and have seen them on amazon /eBay for £10 for 10 just wondering if anyone knows anywhere I could grab them cheaper?
Thanks

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Here...keep your order under something like £15 and you dont pay import tax..need to look up the import tax threshold as it changes from time to time.

You think a quid each isn't cheap enough Aaron? I pay £8 each for mine from Woodlore.... they are the best. Cheaper ones are harder and don't spark as well... you tend to get what you pay for, unless ordering a 1000+
It's the unit that's paying but we're a little strap for cash at the moment if it was for me I would pay more
I agree with Mark on this one. I had very poor results from cheap ferro rods (Mountain warehouse I think they were), the Woodlore ones I have found to be the very best, with the light-my-fire a good second best.

I've had cheap ones and expensive ones. Once the coating is off, can't say I notice any difference. 'They' say they all come from the same factory now.
This sounds like a good debate this I think what I might do would be review some of the cheap compared to expensive ones if I get them
