,"We're gonna try the pull out method, that's what she said"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Many people don't realize that the "striker" in a BIC lighter IS IN FACT a ferrocerium rod -- same thing as a "fire rod." Indeed, supplied with the proper tinder, you can start a fire with an EMPTY bic lighter in exactly the same way that you would with a fire-starter rod.
Bought one of these and 4 extra ferro rod reloads using your discount code. Feels a lot better knowing I'll have those put back and saved for if and when I need them. Thank you.
I enjoy your videos. You present things very well with an honest and pleasant demeanor. Thank you.
I was just looking at placing an order from them last night, I said to myself, just wait till tomorrow. Glad I did, great video. Thanks for the code 🙏🏻
That was maybe the Holy Spirit telling you to wait..
I've used the pull out method a lot in college lol Great channel and product sootch.
I think bayites are some of the best firesteels on the market 🔥⛺.
If you buy from Amazon…
If you like the party clamp one of these into a miter saw and touch off the saw blade on it. It’s really cool.
@@RadDadisRad Yeah, Amazon has great deals on them.
Yep, Exotac paying for this review, no doubt. I do have an exotac glow in the dark bic lighter holder though. That's basically a tinder ball holder.
i have a couple of firerod's and they are good to have!!! thank you sootchoo for the video!!!
Nice to see more videos on sensible prepper channel. Great job 👍🏻
Hahaha! The outro cracked me up. Thanks for the good time, Sootch. I admire you, man.
Picked up a couple standard size from gearbest last year for $6.00 each with same features. Works well, I keep it in my admin bag.
I have the original one and carry that in my pocket along with a little space pen, mini leatherman, that little Olight Mini Baton 2 (I think that's the name), and knife that's clipped to my pocket. It definitely doesn't have the performance of a big, normal sized one but at least I would have some capability. I wouldn't carry something if it was bigger than the one I have, but for like an emergency bag this one would be decent (although I'd opt for a much cheaper fire steel).
Hey Sootch, do you think down the road you could do a video or at least give your thoughts about "apartment/condo" prepping for those of us who live in situations where space is very limited and so we're dependent on a lot of battery power stuff?
Check out UA-cam channels City Prepper and Prepper Princess. You can do a ton in the city / apartment if you're committed. You can fit enough food storage under a single bed to feed 1 person for a year. If you have sunny windows, grow veggies in flower pots. Grow herbs in a cloth shoe rack. Get a Nesco dehydrator. Heck, I have a bee hive operating on my balcony.
i own this rod i only had to strike once to get a fire going (after the coating was scratched off) if you have the money buy it
"Thats what she said" lol appreciate the video and that good discount code too. 20% is a great discount amount! I've been wanting an Exotac for a while now.
I like the fact that the tinder it's in thing itself.
Always like the exotact. This bigger version is very nice
Ok...a bigger ferro rod. Nice. Not complaining but why won't they make a firesleeve for the mini bic?
"A good friend of min," dang sootch pass the good friends around!
Bayite Ferro rod is $15 on Amazon for 5"x .5" and you get 2 of them for that price. Not paying $60 for one single 4"x.5". Even if it does come with duct tape 🙄
Right ?
I understand the complaint. Exotac is Made in USA and baylite is made by communists. Exotac pays $15 an hour plus. China pays $2 an hour.
@@DamionJR4923 blame Bill Clinton for moving all our manufacturing jobs, some people can’t afford $65 on a gimmick handle. You can make cotton balls with Vaseline and carry those in a pill bottle for under $5. I could take that $50 I saved and buy more preps or I can waste it on this ?
Commenting on a Chinese slave labor internet device and complaining about giving communists money 🙄
@@DamionJR4923 I don't care. Not paying literally 8x as much. If they can't produce a reasonably priced product that works exactly the same, maybe they shouldn't try. $60 for that is beyond ridiculous
@@beansandbandaids8667 If labor cost 8 times as much it is a simple fact it will cost 8 times more. I used to say that about pocket knives. I bought a nice $150 knife and now I don’t really care for $20 kershaw blades. Also you should compare the baylite to the Exotac refills. The Exotac has a cnc machined anodized handle. Bayolite is a rod.
I have used ferro rods for years...$60 for the large and $30 for the regular size is an absolute rip off. I have used any and every rod from Walmart, eBay, Amazon, etc. They all work the same and work great for under $10. Knowing that they overcharge this much tells me to never even consider buying anything from this company...
Thanks for this comment I'm new to prepping and I've never used one of these ferro rods but from looking at vids and how they work and some other products that basically look the same for a fraction of the cost on ebay and amazon had me wondering.. Found some good ones with a compass and storage and extra rod etc for like 9 bucks and they look like very similar quality as I have a good eye for quality :) ... I'll give some of these a try to start out with thanks bro..
Looks good , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Yea, that is $60 worth of grip...ain't tit! 🤣😂🤣
If they made this where it was self-enclosing like the Nanostriker XL and drop the duct tape gimmick, I'd buy one. I carry the Nanostriker XL in the pen loop of my Hitch and Timber wallet daily.
überleben are the best fire rods I have used.
Exotac is my GO To for fire starting. Easily. I have the bic lighter case, I have the firerod XL, I have 2 nano fire rods, I have the titan light lighter, the nano spark and I have the normal firerod. I’m looking at the new tool roll and spool tool. Exotac is the best. I wish they had stickers though 😂
I have practiced and practiced and practiced with this 5 dollar farro ro from walmart and the best best best of coupling is a razor and farro rod - with that pair i could LITE ICE !!!!!!!! NO, but seriously, I could lite lint from the dryer and itas fabric softenera strip, any paper, wood (of course), and of course cotton. The Cerium metal doping is rad stuff !!!!!!
Dope fire rod!
Like everything else, Practice, practice, practice.
I have found , for me at least putting the edge of the knife down on the platform for your fire easier to aim the sparks on the pull back method
Dood i gotta buy or make one of these tool rolls - easy carry !
I want that tool roll though! Their Bic Lighter Case is really good too!
I've found putting the edge of the knife down makes aiming the pull back method easier
Complimenti per il video. Interessante👍💯🔥
Excellent vid!
Bought mine at blade show 2021
Im always worried that it will corrode cause I can’t get out all the time I had a lite my fire one it ended up corroding just sitting on my dresser I hate to spend money for it to go bad
Love Exotact.
The bigger and longer they are the easier they are to strike, SUCCESSFULLY, so you actually get a FIRE instead of a sparkler show.
The magnesium block has a fire stereo installed on the side
Is it on Amazon or Ebay or both? I'm going to try to purchase one. Please send info. I don't own a computer nor would I know what to do with it.It's about as useful as a boat ankor to me and I don't own a boat.
That is, huh? Nice ESSE Knife, too.
Esee*
If you prep the fire properly then there is no advantage with a massive rod. The quality of the rod is more important.

The orange XL is already sold out!!
This is a great rod, although pricey it is worth supporting American businesses. Buy the cheap stuff if you want but exotac is premium American made equipment your life can depend on.
There's nothing "premium" about it except the ridiculous price. Every Ferro rod works exactly the same
I would have to disagree as you clearly have no idea what your talking about, unless you meen they all throw sparks then ya sure they're all the same.....smh
Nice...
The regular say 5000 strikes not 10000
Surviving what?
Bic for me.
Really? $50 for a Ferro rod 🤣😂
$60 for a rod holder 🤣🤣
Better off to just buy 4 of the $15 rods from Amazon... You can wrap tape around the end of you need a holder.
Exactly and for another $5 you can buy a tool to thread the rods to make your own $60 handle.
Agree. Total rip off..
Complete waste of money. I've never had a problem with any ferro rod. Period. This is ridiculously priced. Get a cheapo, test it out; it'll work great. Mors Kochanski always said, & I agree, you wont need all that surface once you've gotten used to using a ferro rod. This is influencer bait. Before buying this ask yourself if you have several months of food storage INCLUDING water. That's where most preppers fail.
Do it like a man with two sticks 😐😂
1st?
$60 lol. Now that’s a joke
But it comes with a piece of duct tape!
With the "sootch20" discount the price goes down to $48, which is less funny.
Tons of just as good options for a fraction of that price. No thanks
Definite rip off.
SEDUCTIVE HOT CAMPFIRES ARE WHAT WE NEED... WHERE'S THE COFFEE...
GOOD SEGMENT...
MY SHOTGUN IS LOADED...
I WILL NOT RELENT...
