Life was hard for our pioneer forefathers, but it was also much simpler. They didn't have to worry about running out of lighter fluid, or getting their matches wet. They relied on tried and true firestarting methods. The Ferro-Light Firestarter lets you walk in the traditional footsteps of our wise and resourceful ancestors.
The Ferro-Light is easy to use. Simply strike a steel scraper blade or knife (not included) against the ferrocerium rod. The resulting hot sparks can reach temperatures up to 5,430°F. The end of the anodized aluminum body unscrews, revealing a hollow compartment where you can store tinder and char cloth. You'll be basking in the warmth of a roaring campfire in no time.
Lightweight and easy to carry, this tool is ideal for bowhunters, hikers, campers, and survivalists. The Ferro-Light Firestarter weighs roughly 2 ounces total, meaning it's perfect for carrying in your pocket, pack, or even around your neck as a pendant. You can even attach it to your zipper for a convenient zipper pull.
The body of the Ferro-Light rod and aluminum handle together measures approximately 3 ¾". The ferrocerium rod alone measures approximately 1 ¾" long. Weighs less than 2 ounces total.
