Review on The Friendly Swede Ferro Rods: The Ultimate Fire Starter Survival Tool For Camping & Hiking! by Dewey Galyon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So Cheap So Good! in my review

First of all let me say that this ferro rod is just amazing. Don't listen to all the bad reviews, whatever complaint they have, they must be using it wrong.This soft ferro rod is great for starting fires, it gives an insane amount of sparks with the included striker and even more amount if used with a sharp spine of a knife.It doesn't take much force to get sparks so becareful. Out of all the firestarter I have tried and I own like 18 or so this one is well balanced in terms of durability and ergonomics. They give a generous 4 inches of length 5inchs including the handle and the ferrorod isn't to soft where excess material is wasted so this will last you quite a bit.The only complaint is have would be that I'm not a bignore fan of these chains and would have liked a paracord option or some sort of casing to put everything into since this is a emergency ferrorod use right?I would highly recommend this to anyone you won't regret it. You get 2 for 16 dollars that's pretty cheap if you ask me. Sure you can get cheaper ones that might do the same thing but the friendly swede have nice quality products and they actually check in with you which is also a nice touch to their name. I'll be buying another one soon for my camping and survival kitThanks a bunch Friendly Swede!

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • May run out of ferrocerium over time, rendering the rod useless
