Ordered Ferrofire rods after watching vid. Spark longevity was obvious with Ferrofire rod. Will retire my well used Uberleben rod. GREAT VID.

Remember a few years ago when you could bid for Chinese stuff? I got a ferro rod the same size as yours for $0.78 (with free shipping), I think it is the last one I'll ever need. It came without a lanyard hole, I drilled one at slow speed using my drill press, it was fun, like the 4th of July - sparks everywhere even at 640 rpm. The mark up American companies charge for Chinese products is obscene.

Nice! I've had no complaints about my Bayite rod. Keep it on my belt for impromtu firecraft practice, wowing friends, and tamping my pipe. Definitely will have to pick up some of these and seal them up in some mylar to prevent oxidation for the comming colapse ; )

Cheetos crushed, old potato chips, dryer lint sprayed with cheap ultra hold hair spray two coats with drying time between each, stuffing out of sanitary napkins, bandages... LOTTA stuff works😂 I have been known to shove a 1 quart sports drink bottle that's clean and dry full of good tinder and some fat wood splinters and screw the lid on. No water gets in and the bottle doesn't weigh much more than empty. Cut the bottle open, decide if you need the fat wood or not, POOF. That's enough hopefully to get it going plus a platform AND the plastic burns if you're really in a fix!😂

I cannot imagine how they drill those holes in deep rods. I tried it once and the drill bit instantly became a high speed striker, melted my drill bit and started a small fire in my shop. Just a guess but they either use a lot of oil or the hole is part of the press powder form.

Went to Ferrofire website and discovered this: "Free shipping within two business days as per arrangements for festivals and holidays from China government." Made in CHINA. No thank you. I'll gladly pay more in order to NOT put money into the war chest of a nation that is spending decades trying to destroy the US. Just my two cents. That said, excellent presentation and style... nice work. Will definitely watch more of your vids!

@@ochocobushcraft1742 a rolling stone gathers no moss. I assume you use the one you carry and the ones in your packs are all still black. Great plan actually. I noticed how shiny your well worn one is... That means you train with it a lot. They corrode bad with oxidation and moisture when exposed. You're the real deal. The condition of your gear proves it.

Glad you had success with this Ferro rod, I got some FERROFIRE Zippo size flints off Amazon and they were atrocities. Even in a New Zippo insert 4 out of the 100 ordered produced no spark. Tried the same 4 flints in ANOTHER new insert ...no spark. When it comes to ferrocerium, A sharp hard striker is a must. I use a square lathe mill bit blank epoxied into a hunk of wood . 4 edges M2 tool steel. Save my knife spines for emergency, OR use a Corona shears sharpener, carbide.

Sorry to hear that you had trouble with their flints. So far their ferro rods have worked fantastic.
@tikkidaddy6 ай бұрын
Well TBH I'm just letting others know that they're better off just buying ZIPPO brand flints in bulk if possible. The things are tiny, and I mean how many of the little buggers do they actually check when you think about it. 😂 Amazon refunded the whole order, so there's that. But its probably easier to QC a big old 1x6. Reason I mention it is that I use the little EXOTAC sparker that's about $30, takes ZIPPO flints, and the EXOTAC TitanLight alot more than a 1x6. That little sparker is worlds more durable than a dead Bic, and the TitanLight doesn't chug ZIPPO FLUID like a camel at a watering hole😂
