xKombat UK Elite Ferro Rod Fire Starter - Professional Bushcraft Fire Lighting
The Kombat UK Elite Ferro Rod Fire Starter delivers reliable fire lighting for bushcraft, camping, and survival situations. This high-quality ferrocerium rod produces hot sparks up to 3,000°F when struck with the included steel striker, igniting tinder even in wet conditions. The compact design packs into its own waterproof container, making it essential gear for outdoor adventures and emergency preparedness.
High-Quality Ferrocerium Rod for Reliable Sparks
This ferro rod uses premium ferrocerium material that generates intense sparks when scraped with the steel striker at a 45-degree angle. The hot sparks easily ignite dry tinder materials like birch bark, char cloth, or fine wood shavings, making fire starting reliable even for beginners. Unlike matches or lighters, this ferro rod works in wet weather, at altitude, and in extreme temperatures, providing dependable fire lighting when you need it most.
Waterproof Container with Attachment Feature
The included waterproof container protects the ferro rod from moisture while providing secure storage during transport. The container can be attached directly to the rod during use, preventing loss and making striking easier with a stable grip. This thoughtful design ensures your fire starter remains functional and accessible when conditions are challenging and every spark counts.
Compact Design for Bushcraft and Survival Kits
Weighing just 300g, this fire starter fits easily into bushcraft packs, survival kits, and emergency bags without adding significant weight or bulk. The compact size makes it ideal for hiking, camping, and outdoor activities where space and weight are important considerations. Despite its small footprint, it provides thousands of strikes for long-term reliability in the field.
Professional Fire Starting Technique
To use this ferro rod effectively, prepare your tinder bundle first, then hold the striker at a 45-degree angle and scrape down the rod with firm, quick strokes. Direct the sparks into your tinder and blow gently to create flame. The technique works with natural tinders like dry grass, birch bark, or prepared materials like char cloth, making it versatile for different outdoor situations.
