PolySTRIKER Fero Rod Firestarter

When you're out in the woods, fire isn't a luxury. It's how you stay warm, cook food, and make it through the night. The PolySTRIKER Firestarter is built for real work in real conditions. It weighs less than half an ounce but punches way above its weight when it counts. The handle is tough ABS plastic and the tungsten carbide striker locks right into it, so you are not digging around for pieces when your hands are cold. The 3/16-inch ferro rod throws hot sparks every time. Over five thousand degrees hot when it's ignited and still works if it gets wet. Just give it a quick dry and strike. With up to fifteen hundred strikes in it and a flammable lanyard that can double as backup tinder, this thing earns its place in your pack. Simple, compact, and ready when everything else quits. Made In the USA.

Expert Tips:
Keep it in an outside pocket or belt pouch for quick access. Strike close to your tinder and let the sparks fall right into it. A cotton ball with a dab of petroleum jelly lights fast and burns hot. Clean the striker after heavy use to keep it throwing sparks strong. This tool is made for folks who want gear that works the first time, every time.
