all right guys welcome to another video
today we're going to talk about a
fire starter so stay tuned through the
intro
what's up my name is doug the bearded
outdoorsman welcome to another video
if you enjoy beard product reviews gear
reviews and gear tips then you
have come to the right place today we're
going to talk about a
ferro rod fire starter kit that you can
pick up off of amazon
and we're gonna break it down and i'm
gonna give you my opinion on it so what
we're gonna talk about is the light
arctic fire kit
okay so there'll be a link in the
description for this
product but we're going to talk about it
real quick so it comes in
this felt velvet bag
not a huge fan of the bag but it does
keep it all
nice and neat in one little package so
let's grab this
and pull it out so what you get when you
make this purchase is you get a
fair rod that has a compass
it has a whistle
it doesn't work very well the compass
i wouldn't trust my life on the compass
but
that's not what we're paying for here
we're paying for a ferro rod
you've got your striker here you can see
i've used this
one side is serrated the other side is
flat
so the serrated edge if you need to saw
something for tinder
or if you needed to really get down on
this you could
and attached to this cordage
is this little container so
also with this package you get this
which has an o-ring it is watertight
and inside you get a piece of cotton
tinder now this is like tightly
wound and packed so that's where you use
your serrated edge and you can saw on
this
and kind of fray it open so you can
throw sparks at it and let it catch
so when you make this purchase if i can
keep up with
the tender you can replace
what's in here you don't have to keep
this little
tender wad you can put
twigs you can cut up some bark whatever
and put in this little pill carrier
because it's got an o-ring you can put
anything in here you want
now something else you get when you make
this purchase is they send you a little
ziploc bag and they send you two
extra pieces of tinder in this package
now i have used one
testing it out and it worked amazing i
did not get it filmed
but it did work amazing so
i would not depend on the whistle or the
compass
but as for a fire starting this is a
ferro rod with a really decent plastic
handle that's got some good grip on it
so you can hold it it's not going
anywhere
and this is probably a little bit shy of
3
8 of an inch and i would venture to say
it's about three
three and a half to four inches long so
let's talk about price so for this 15
bucks on amazon
15 there are fera rods with no striker
that cost more than 15 on amazon so
for what you get out of this i believe
it's worth 15
i picked this up mainly to do a review
for you guys
i apologize for not taking a video of
striking the fire tender that came with
it but
i do know that it works really really
well it throws a lot of sparks
and you can see that
maybe i don't start nothing on fire out
here but it does throw
a good bit of sparks for a
15 fair rod and fire kit so
definitely check it out if you were in
need of a new fire kit
this is definitely something it won't be
my primary of course
but this is something that i will
probably keep in my truck keeping a get
home bag
or something of that nature maybe even a
bug out bag
something that i would have and would be
there if i needed it
really good and decent product for 15
bucks so
get over check it out links will be in
the description below
and until next time guys
stay bearded get outdoors and god bless
you
