Review on Gear Up For Your Next Outdoor Adventure With Bayite'S 4 Inch Flint Fire Starter Ferro Rod Kit by Durward Carlson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked in high altitude and wet weather

Just used this Ferro rod on a camping trip in the high sierras and it worked like a charm in all sorts of conditions from the easy hot + dry to the hard cold + damp. It worked in 16 degrees at 8k feet. I will say it's important to have a good starter kindling like dryer lint on hand and it's often easier to keep the kindling within inches of the strike area and then place in the "stick teepee" to get a fire going. But this was easy to use, reliable, and impressive. First time using non lighter, non match fire starting during camping- was beyond impressed with this rod

Pros
  • Replaced propane torch with this ,,, does not need much kindling and even with heavy breeze it works.
Cons
  • The kit may be difficult to find replacement parts for
