Fire Lighting

Fire lighting in the wilderness is an essential skill for survival, scouting, and bushcraft. It is vital for cooking, keeping warm and as a focal point for camp activities. Lighting fires is something of an art, but is much easier with the right tools! Buy good quality firelighting equipment to be prepared for all conditions.

One of our most popular type of firelighters amongst bushcrafters and survivalists alike are the ferrorod fire starters. With a large ferrocerium rod and a hard scraper used to create sparks hot enough to light synthetic or natural tinder by scratching them together manually. One variation of this is a type that has a built-in striking blade that makes it much easier to create sparks with the use of only one hand. Another variation is a magnesium bar that can be scraped with a knife or any other sharp object to create a powdered tinder that easily burns for a few seconds.
