How to Use a Fire Starter Effectively in Damp Conditions (4 Key Steps):
Find Dry Tinder
Look for flammable materials like pine needles, dry bark, cotton, or tissues that don’t absorb much moisture. If everything is wet, peel back bark to find dry layers or use fire-starting cotton or waterproof tinder.
Prep the Fire Starter
Wipe off any moisture or dirt from the fire starter's surface. Then, scrape off the black coating on the magnesium rod to expose the shiny metal underneath. Shave some magnesium flakes onto the tinder to improve ignition.
Strike Properly
Use a sharp scraper at about a 45° angle to the ferro rod. Keep the rod steady and pull it back firmly and quickly to create sparks directed at the tinder.
Ignite and Nurture the Flame
Once sparks land on the tinder, blow gently to encourage a flame. Gradually add kindling to build the fire.

super fun, definitely makes sparks. good for emergencies, but you definitely need to practice to be able to actually start good fires without an accelerant

This tool is great for any camper no matter your experience. In a pinch, this could save your life. It's also convenient if you need to light a fire in the rain or damp conditions. I use this to light my campfires and always have it on me while camping. Paracord is high quality and has held up very well so far despite wet conditions.

Overall Thoughts…It’s a smaller, light ferro rod with striker & extras. 5 stars.SOME DETAILS ON MY ORDER ARRIVAL- The six (6’) inch, ferro rod Firestarter came within 2 days with PRIME delivery, shipped in an envelope package with the product inside, encased within a plastic wrapping. This was plenty sufficient because the starter is pretty much indestructible.UPON CLOSER INSPECTION: The ferro rod fire starter is neatly attached to a length of para-cord, wound through a drilled hole in the top of the rod. It will not untie by accident. Also attached on the cord assembly is a rod/flint striker for scraping the rod and for striking the rod to cause sparks. This striker has a map scale key/ruler inscribed onto it, a bottle opener, hex wrench (one size) and perhaps can be used as a flat blade screwdriver, in an emergency. NOTE: If needed, you can always use the full length of the striker as a small finger splint, again, in an emergency. Also added on the cord is a small cheap whistle. The whistle is not so effective but is better than no whistle at all.MORE OUT OF THE BOX: Operationally, I had no issues with starting a flame with this tool. Worked fine. Five or six strikes, a little tinder and I had fire. Nice little tool. Especially if you are backpacking it in or as a backup.

I use tons of these in my school, and am always looking for brands that are easy for beginning students to use. This one is especially so -- the rod is just the right hardness for the striker, making it easy to get lots of sparks. And the long length makes it easier to work with than shorter rods.If you're an expert, you can just use the very end of it, and then work your way up over time -- you'll have a rod here that will last a long, long while, and if you're ever in a dexterity-compromised situation, you'll have the ease of more length to strike on. A win-win.This is a little pricier than other rods, and thinner, which means it won't last as long for beginners. But the length and ease of striking make this a great ferro rod that should last you for fifty fires if you're a beginner and a few hundred or more if you're an expert.

This is a really solid Ferro rod. It is not a short flimsy Rod that is very hard to get a grip on. This rod is a good 6 in long with a decent diameter that you can get a good grip on to strike a lot of sparks. In addition to being a great size which will enable it to start many many fires it comes with some other nice attachments. There is a nice paracord lanyard. I'm not sure how long it is when you've undone the knots but I'd guess it's probably a yard maybe a little longer. On the lanyard is a striker that also has a bottle opener. It always comes in handy to have one of those. Finally at one end of the lanyard is a emergency whistle.. so all in all I would recommend this is a great tool to have either in your emergency kit, your camping kit or just in the glove compartment of your car incase you ever find yourself stuck somewhere and need to light a fire.

With all the superstorms and flooding and wildfires you hear about these days, I am dipping toes in the “prepping” pools; not for some horrible doomsday per se, but very practically, in case I am out of normal options. A freak tornado knocked the power out for miles around us last summer, totally out of nowhere. It was the day before I got paid and so we were basically out of groceries in the house. I had jars of tomato sauce I had canned, but couldn’t boil water to make pasta. The grocery store doors wouldn’t work, their computers were down and the lights were off. There was nowhere to go buy food for a couple days, not to mention traffic was chaotic without lights, and I saw some almost-accidents from impatient people. The kids were asking what they could eat and after throwing out everything in the fridge and freezer, all I had was chips and crackers for a few days until the power was restored. I was able to cook, finally, by utilizing our outdoor fireplace. But by then I felt like it was a wake up call. What if it had been out longer? What if I hadn’t found that igniter? I just don’t think it’s crazy anymore to just have some emergency stuff, and backup plans on hand, and hope I don’t have to use it.

I like the length of this rod, you just have so much to work with. I tested it out by scraping a bit of the black coating off and scraping it with the scraper. It through some sparks, but I have never liked the style that comes with this, and many other, ferro rods. If you use a knife or something else, it works much better.The lanyard has a built in plastic whistle on the end, which is pretty trash, but I suppose it is better to have it than to not.The one thing I have to knock this rod for is the price/value. I shop around a lot for this type of stuff, just for fun, and you can find better deals out there for very similar products.Other than that, it is pretty much the same as all the other generic ferro rods I have, just a little longer. It'll work!
