First timer and novice adventurer and Starting my go bag or bug out bag. Picked this today for $5 at Wal-Mart mart.

[@bunnyb9326]

This video was very helpful! Thank you

[@waynehead7271]

I use the makeup pads too. However, I give them a quick dip in melted wax to make a good fire starter. They're waterproof, less messy than petroleum jelly, and cut into smaller pieces easily when I don't need a full 6 minutes of burn time. It takes a tiny bit of effort to fluff up a spot to take the spark quickly, but is absolutely worth it for easy carrying.

[@boggsfamilyoutdoors7447]

I recently bought one and it's now part of my edc. I replaced the lanyard with 550 and gave myself about 8 inches of extra 550 for a tail and wrapped it up with some duck tape some extra fuel to start a fire.

[@RagingUtai]

Why wouldn't you just carry a box of matches or a zippo lighter

[@boggsfamilyoutdoors7447]

@@RagingUtai I have about 6 uco storm proof matches along with this kit. As someone with a previous bad hip injury and surgery,a simple fall can leave me in a situation I may be left out overnight somewhat under prepared. So keeping this kit with me anytime I am going into the outdoors I pack this. I know I can at least get a fire and crawl around in the area to gather enough wood to stay alive. With the help of a good quality emergency space blanket in my small kit on my belt. The zippo lighter can become useless over time if you forget to keep it filled. Matches can also have issues. With this u know you have a last ditch effort for a spark to get a fire. I also found a sample pack of Vaseline lip protection that is about the size of one piece of double bubble gum or a starburst perfect for the kit as well. The rod and striker stays in my pocket tho. Everything else is stored in a tin inside the belt pouch with the space blanket.

[@mamaindy61]

Thank you! This helped me a lot. I've never used a fire starter and of course there aren't directions on the package.

[@StepUpMedia039]

I keep a standard Bic lighter for emergency situations but this works great too and is a nice backup.

[@jamesvan2201]

Just bought one myself today. So i searched up how to use it and it brought me here. It works quite well once you scrape the black (im assuming its paint?) Stuff off.

[@sloppy2nds321]

I used some dryer lint and it started no problem.

[@tahnjr]

These are nearly identical to the UST Sparkforce, with one major difference. The ferro rod is great; but unlike the Sparkforce, the attached scraper is crap. I bought two and had to sharpen the scrapers to make them useable.

[@Ace-1525]

Helpful! Been looking for some new ones to add to my nephews' Go Bags; can never be too prepared.

[@amigopiojo11]

Thank you I got one of this yesterday! (Jun-23-2023)

[@gerardnivek4458]

How many uses can you get out of it before you have to replace? In other words should you buy a few of them or does one last a long time?

[@Diakonov29]

I tried this today with dry black birch bark. Couldn't start a fire. Sparks burned out too quick.

[@cutlerylover]

HD version is still processing :)

[@KnivesSurvival]

Not a bad deal for a few bucks.

[@ashleychance4354]

Thank u so much I was clueless now I know👍

[@Jlord534]

I had a Gerber that looks exactly the same. So I wonder if Ozark trail bought the design from them

[@cutlerylover]

Ozark steals designs constantly...

[@asphyxiate14]

It's way more likely both sourced the same cheap chinese company to make the product and each just slapped their names on it

[@nobody2021]

@@asphyxiate14 this happens a lot more than people think. i once was looking for a hatchet. found one at harbor freight for i don't remember how much. looked at ace hardware for their options and found the exact same hatchet for twice the cost with a different brand sticker on it.

[@tylercarterr]

They are private labeled. I have one that looks identical and it's a different brand

[@nagjrcjasonbower]

Neat. Thanks!

[@iLikeDucks235]

You sound like Brian from family guy

[@QwinnieLu56]

The measurements are for reading scales on maps i think...

[@xx9mmskeeterxx174]

Yeah it is… I just got one and I can’t pull it out of the case thing

[@alanwilliams5836]

Big knockoff of the UST SparkForce, which is about one dollar more on Amazon. The striker seems a little flimsy compared to the one on the SparkForce. I have a Spark Force in every fire kit I make. Great backup. Also good for a lightweight loadout (backpackers, etc).

[@cutlerylover]

Ozark trail is known for knocking off anything popular and making a super cheap version of it, I noticed this when YETI 1st became a known thing lol

[@SoCalPatriot81]

it's the Chinese doing what they do best, ripping off other companies.

[@InsuranceIsLegalizedRobbery]

@@SoCalPatriot81 Nah man, you just hate on Chinese. ripping off is an american thing not even Asian to start with… ever heard of globalization ?! and that itself is a western thing, hate to admit it ha?

[@opinyinatedhomeydonpladat3212]

I've tried 3 different strikers along with 3 different blades, in dry conditions, and none of them are creating a spark...each from brand new packages. I get no sparks at all regardless the combination. Does anyone have any suggestions? hat... Edit: each are Ozark Trail brand..1

[@KingAntDaProphet]

The tool sucks im using it rn

[@alln5739]

I found holding the striker upright so the flat surface scrapes the flint rather than at a angle worked well for me. Just like he did in video, flat surface (like back of a knife blade) not angling it forward 45 degrees. Hope that made sense.

[@GarciAnt1]

Lol dont let wranglerstar hear you like the metric system 😂

[@cutlerylover]

lol I dont mind it but still feel extra American that we made up our own for no reason at all lmao

[@aaronblair9583]

@@cutlerylover we diddnt come up with it at all. We just carried the British imperial system way after they switched to metric for most things. GB still uses miles per hour for example. after the revolutionary war, we weren't close to other European countries so why change...GB in the other hand was doing business with other European countries during the industrial revolution so it made sense for them to come on board with the metric system for most things dealing with manufacturing.

[@med8615]

@@cutlerylover It's called the Imperial system for a reason, its from the Brit. Americans didn't make it.

[@thelifeofjools8384]

Well, which ever system you use, it's better to just have the one system. In UK our butchers use pounds and ounces...pubs use pints.....the petrol comes in litres, although efficiency of a vehicle is measured in miles per gallon 🤦🏻‍♂️...distance is measured in miles...milk in pints...land in acres....all our cook books use grams and millilitres... it's a ball ache ! 😂

[@nolongervailable9400]

I bought one and I tried and tried and it barely let off a spark at all no matter how hard I tried :/

[@KingAntDaProphet]

Yeah it sucks

[@dcran33]

It's 0-10 mm

[@cutlerylover]

thanks

[@daradiant1]

I ❤ it! I got 2 of them!

[@gerardmcquade]

what is the point having the measurements in there

[@cutlerylover]

just adding something to an already useful part lol like adding a ruler to a multitool, its only helping

[@Zaque-TV]

I think its scrap from something else

[@yourlocaljunk3209]

lol can’t pull it apart once i closed it

[@pyrosmoak53]

Hey Jeff have you tried the ust spark force (strike force maybe)? it's the setup, I think a a comparison vid would be Kool

[@johnwestervelt7454]

I paid 5 and ebay is ripping people of at $20 each

nice vid. i have esee firesteel scraper but it kind of low sparking maybe its not sharp idk please suggest somthing :) my firesteel is prometheus design werx.

they run out of fuel, they fail, they dont work when wet...whats wrong with a fero rod?

[@swynty777]

@@zipzip8239 both eventually run out and both are good options if you take care of them well, just like putting nail polish or Vaseline on a fero rod after each use because they will corrode easily
