- Rapid fire.....After you get through the protective black coating, the six sides and softer metal alloy make it all that much easier to produce an abundance of sparks, quickly and consistently.
- Equipped to overcome.....Each ferro rod comes with a low-profile multi-tool striker (3.00 x 0.78 in / 7.62 x 1.98 cm), complete with a 90-degree straight-edge striker, serrated scraper, ruler, hex wrench, map scale, and bottle opener to maximize versatility and functionality in both every day and unexpected situations.
- At the ready.....Each ferro rod is tied to 10 feet of reflective orange 550 paracord (made in the USA) and knotted in true quick-release fashion, so you can deploy with speed and ease, directing your time and efforts toward more important tasks.
- Built to last.....With 6 inches (15.24 cm) of 0.5-inch thick (1.27 cm) ferrocerium alloy, our durable, long-lasting ferro rods are rated for 32,000 strikes, ready to go the distance on your toughest adventures.
- All-weather, all-season.....Our ferro rods are naturally waterproof and easier to grip than matches, especially when you have gloves on, making them the superior choice for year-round gear.
Spark a flame with the 836 Outdoors Ferro Rod and save time, energy, and resources. The hexagonal design gives you six flat surfaces for increased surface area, maximizing friction between the striker and the rod and helping you achieve large, tinder-hungry sparks (so have your tinder ready!). 836 Outdoors Ferro Rods are composed of a metal alloy that makes them solid and sturdy enough to ride at the bottom of a pack, yet soft enough to produce a reliable shower of sparks. They are weatherproof, easy to grip, and the perfect portable igniter for any outdoor enthusiast or prepper. Each ferro rod comes equipped with a multi-tool and 10 feet of reflective orange paracord, because gear—whether it’s for a multi-day trek or part of your everyday carry—should never serve just a single purpose. The paracord we use is made in the USA, rated at 550-pound tensile strength, and easy to locate in low-light situations. Like typical 550 cord, our chosen cord is 5/32 inches (4 mm) in diameter and has seven inner nylon strands which, along with the sheath, can be used for a variety of survival and emergency situations. And because time can save lives, our paracord lanyards are simple and quick to deploy. *Our ferro rods are covered in a protective black coating. Once you get through the protective coating, it will be easier to produce sparks.* As with any survival tool, please practice using the ferro rod before you actually need it. Use responsibly. Adult supervision recommended. Paracord will catch fire if left in an open flame. 836 Outdoors is not responsible for misuse of product.
