Great project when camping or hiking start your fire a different each night. If you get 5/16 clear hose you can put handles on each stick. It looks great and it keeps the rod from sliding down. In the 3/8 or 1/2" rods get larger hose. Right now I am up to 6 ways to start fire including a magnifying glass which also works great to look at small things. Enjoy nature. Ken Goodrich

Massive. Just massive. If you can't handle this crowbar of a ferro-cerium rod, drill out a piece of wood or spring antler and glue it in. In fact, that's a great idea for camper and prepper gifts. But it is massive. Combine that with can opener called P-51, the longer easier-to-use wee military can opener, and you're set for camping fun. I attached a rod to a cheap sheath knife as a sparking steel along with a P-51. Now L'il Sparky and Jaws is ready to go fishing.

These work great and having extras for putting in my truck, 24hr bag, and backpacking bags is great. There not very long but they are more than enough to throw good sparks. Most handles that come on ferro rods usually come off over time so I just wrap athletic tape around the end of these for a good grip to hit with back of knife. I also add a loop from paracord under the tape to have a lanyard to wrap around my sheath.

Right size to stash in any small survival kit or even edc sandwich bag. Plenty of them to always have one available. I'll never forget my friend who couldn't start a fire to keep warm on an outing with his group. This ferro rod wrapped in cigar leaf foil for waterproofing(see to left rear in kit.)
