FERROFIRE FS91 Extra Large Survival Fire Starter Kit

[@ferrofiregears]

As a member of FERROFIRE, I am proud of such a demonstration, also our premium ferro rod products!!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I am still carrying this product on all my hikes and it appears in all my knife review videos where I test a knife for scraping

[@ferrofiregears]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft We are going to put Heavy-Duty Plus 1/2 x 5 ferro rod fire starter kit with higher density of sparks on the market of Canada, and then I will invite you to review it if you are willing and have time to do that _ ： ）

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

@@ferrofiregears I would be happy to. Thank you

[@ferrofiregears]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft Thank you too Mark, we will ship it to you once it available.

I bought a length of fero rod from a military surplus store but there was no hole in it. I used my drill press to add a hole. While drilling the sparks were very impressive with the amount of pressure applied. It taught me that the amount of pressure when striking is just as important as the sharpness of the striker and the angle of the strike. The fero rod is only part of the equation. I like a lanyard for better grip for my XL hands though I usually support the rod on the pile while striking.🇨🇦

Great lesson. Thanks for commenting

I'm new to the whole ferro rod game. I have made many fires with flint and steel while camping primitive style, but I have recently started looking into other ways to start a fire. I appreciate your clear explanation and simple demonstration.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad it was helpful. I like using flint and steel as well, although, we have no flint in our area so I use quartz. Thanks for commenting

[@8626John]

​@@MarkYoungBushcraftYou're welcome. You have an excellent way of speaking and presenting information.

[@CitizenJane-]

Reminded me of Crocodile Dundee. That's not a ferro rod.... THIS is a ferro rod. Excellent review, thank-you Mark. Will be upgrading my kit now. Glad to hear the fires have settled down near you.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

😀. Right on. I am sure you will be happy with it. Thanks for commenting

[@Anndyinthewoods]

My first thought when you showed the Ferro fire rod was I'd remove the paracord and clip a small carabiner to the shackle. That would make it hang shorter off the belt.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Right on. I modified mine to something similar. Thanks for commenting

[@thedriftingspore]

I recently upgraded from a metal match to one of these bigger rods and really am liking it so far. It’s big enough to let you get a good strong grip on it. Thanks for sharing Mark!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

So much easier to use. Thanks for commenting Steve

[@henrymoreland8719]

Thank you Mark.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Most welcome. Thanks for commenting

Good video.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Mark, yep there's certainly different grades alright, I'd go as far as to say those I have are all sightly different. Bottom line, for such a critical piece of kit, I'd suggest a coupla bucks more will pay you back many times over. Cheers Duke.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I agree Duke. Having bought and used cheap rods I have learned it pays to invest a few bucks more. Thanks for commenting

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

I also have discovered this. There are a few brands I have not tried yet but will at some point. Thanks for commenting Duke

[@chillindave1357]

Ahh advertising! Reminds me of an ad I saw as a kid... "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" lol Great point on length. Large diameter is great for the fire pit, thinner if on a hike/camp out.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Right on. Thanks for commenting

[@MichaelR58]

Good review, thanks for sharing, God bless !

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks, you too!

[@John..18]

I prefer to carry the small cheap Amazon ones,, they're much lighter, (I usually have 2 with me), if you try a few different ones till you get one that suits you, then buy several, , you're all set,,, just throw them away when they get worn down,, don't see the point of carrying excess weight,, Just my 2 cents,, 👍 (you could get 20, for the price of one of these, !! ) 😂

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Understandable. I prefer something a bit longer as I find them easier to use. Thanks for commenting

[@Kado244]

I like useing a broken pair of scissors for a striker. Works amazing you should give it a try next time you are at the dollar store pick up some scissors.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Great suggestion. Thanks for commenting

[@bmac1209]

Thanks again Mark. Another great informative video. I appreciate your honesty and thoroughness. Awesome review!!!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting

[@neonsamurai1348]

Hmm interesting, and the prices are reasonable for a change. Plus they sell a lot of different types (I prefer solid) Cheers!

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Right on. Thanks for commenting

🎼Shoo fly don't bother me, shoo fly don't bother me 🎼 It looks like sparky will do a great job. Definitely use a smaller lanyard with a hook so you can put on your belt loop. 🤙🇨🇦🇺🇸🤙

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Oh man, those deer flies😣 Thanks for commenting

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

Thank you for this Video...today i noticed your sense of humor...greatly appreciated. And your immediate thought pattern spoken out loud...loved it all 🥰 So sorry about the deer flies, are they big like here in America our horse flies? My 50 pound dog always was on the receiving end of those beasts... I got bit in my toe by a horse fly. That was the last meal it had 😂

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

We have horseflies as well. Mostly around the coast. Some of them are big enough to make a meal out of😣. Thanks for commenting

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

@@MarkYoungBushcraft 😂🤣😂Yes, I realized it after they tried carrying my 50 pound dog off 😂🤣😂

[@charlescollier7217]

Thanks for this, Mark. I've been trying to make a decision about the Uberleben, and this seals it for me.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for commenting

[@mcj5644]

Nice video. That new fire rod is impressive. What knife were you using as a striker? Cheers! 🥃😎

[@Gary-ks8rz]

Do they ship from the USA? Or do they take awhile to get here.

[@neonsamurai1348]

Address is Chinese on their website, though they state it ships from amazon US in their FAQ, however it also says this on their products page "Free shipping within two business days as per arrangements for festivals and holidays from China government.". Personally I doubt it comes from amazon if ordered from their page.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Thanks @neonsamuri for looking into this. Mine arrived quickly but I don't know where it was sent from

[@davidglazener7921]

The shackle is useless. Just wrap the rod with duct tape, like you did with the other one. An 8 inch rod length is ridiculous. How cumbersome!
