WEATHERPROOF FIRESTEEL - an all-inclusive carry on camping and bushcraft outdoor fire starter that consists of an XXL ferro rod, high-speed steel striker and paracord. Makes fire-lighting in all-weather conditions like a breeze. Ideal for campfires, fireplaces, barbecues, or as an emergency outdoor accessory. XXL SIZE FERRO ROD - extra large, removable and replaceable 100mm x 10mm (4 x 3/8 in) cerium, lanthanum, iron, and magnesium rod can handle up to 15,000 strikes producing showers of molten hot sparks at 3,000º C (5,432º F). ERGONOMIC GRIP HIGH-SPEED STEEL STRIKER - the flint striker is made of HS steel. Designed and tested to make it as comfortable as possible to have a firm grip and easy to start a fire in any weather (even in extreme cold rainy weather) and at any altitude by men or women. FLUORESCENT PARACORD makes this ferro rod a perfect gadget for any outdoor adventure. The striker and rod are connected with a fluorescent paracord lanyard to make it easy to find in the dark and prevent separation as well as make it compact enough to fit in a pocket or backpack. It is waterproof, long-lasting, portable and safe for travel. Light reflective coating and inner multipurpose strands can be used for creating a fishing line, tinder as well as other survival kits. COMPACT AND PORTABLE: Despite its powerful sparking ability, the lightweight yet robust Weatherproof Firesteel packs down small to conveniently take along on any outdoor adventure. It is also a prime gift for boy and girl scouts. .az-compare th,.az-compare .az-compare tr:last-child .az-compare .az-compare @media (max-width:860px){ .az-compare th,.az-compare } @media (max-width:700px){ } Why Choose aZengear?
