- Finally got my hands on a Nathan4071 ferro rod. I have heard rumors that he sold the best ferro rods and after trying one I can say the rumors are true. I show a comparison between the two qualities. To see Nathan products follow link: m.ebay.com/sch/nathan4071/m.ht...

Thank you for your kinds words my friend.
My pleasure Nathan!👍
Nathan I want to purchase your best but I can't find a link. Could you help me out?
Nathan do you ship internationally thanks for any help you can give
I've been needing a new one,so I'm willing to try and just made order,Thanx!
Love the video thanks for the review
This was a great video and also I think very important that people know that without the right tinder or ferro rods, and over all fantastic video!
Thank you for this review. I purchased one from Nathan on his eBay site after watching this. It's awesome compared to my 4 or 5 other, smaller rods. He even drilled a lanyard hole for me, upon request. Super nice product, super nice guy, and cheers to you both.
stockholm17 thanks. I am really happy that you are happy with your fire steel. Nathan really is an awesome guy and he has an excellent product. Personally I will never buy a ferro rod from anybody else. Thanks for watching
How do I find him?
BOOSTEDLASER his link is in my description on this video.
I need a better striker
Wonder whats best these days
BOOSTEDLASER I know that nathan makes some awesome high speed strikers. but you can make your own out of old wood drill bits. They work great.
Thank you, ive been looking for a good ferro rod. Keep up the great videos!!
Nathan has one of the best by far! He is also an awesome dude. If you order one tell him ATO says hi.
I need to order some of those. I'll have to try to get in contact with Nathan. Thank you.
His link is in the description. Tell him ATO sent ya.
Im going to order one of Nathan 4071 rods just to try one out. And I agree with you 100 %, our skill set has to be there when we need it the most. I bought a $1.00 kitchen knife at the Dollar store a year ago, and I teamed it with a $5.00 ferro rod, and I get fire every time I try, tinder and skill set is the bottom line. I know a handful of men that purchased 2000.00 custom rifles topped with the finest Leupold you can buy, and couldn't shoot for shit in their lives depended on it. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, again I appreciate it sir.
Nice product !....seems to be the softer type ferro rod...they're my preference . Thanks for sharing
Just ordered one...thanks for the info
Great intro!!! I have seen these monsters in use!! They really shower the sparks...and You are right on about Nathan!!
I heard they were great rods but when you use one your self you really see it is not youtube magic.
I can see it does the job for sure!!! I will be watching for that GAW video LOL
ooh my god thank you for the survival tip
4:00
you split the wood like thath genius
thanks you might save my life!!
Great video. I am gonna get one of those ferro rods from Nathan.
Nathan is a good guy to know! Good stuff brother
Great video thanks for sharing!
very beautiful scenery behind you, just awesome I love the Forest . ...
Thanks. I love this spot. It looks very different this time of year. Lol
Nice Test! Nathan does have some of the best fire steels, i haven't heard anyone complain about them. I need to get me one like yours but with a handle...Thanks for the review!
I have had a bunch of different types of ferro rods and so far Nathan's are the best I've tried. But I have heard that 4 directions bushcraft sells a great ferro rod aswell. I am going to have to get me one of them and test them out my self.
Great products and great friend! Great video
Thanks man. I agree
Very impressive!
After watching your video I went to ebay and bought 2 of Nathans ferro rods. the 5 in by 1/2 inch. Thanks for sharing. :)
you won't be sorry you did. I am doing a give away you should check it out.
Hi,,I would very much like to know what knife you have around your neck, will order ferro rod today❤️ from ky
Just ordered one.. Sasquatch. Thanks, great video.
They are great ferro rods you will love it.
Very cool. Nathan is a great guy. Awesome product.
Ya Nathan is the man! thanks for stopping by Tim
I have had a Blast using Nathan's 1/2 rod ...I use a piece of HSS lathe cut off bit for a striker ..It works great with fatwood ..I like shooting showers of sparks at waxed paper just for the fun of it lighting so fast
Lol I do the same thing with waxed paper. I use my rods for everything. Lighting the bbq, birthday candles anything that that I can. Try your ferro rod on seeding dandelions. You can run through a field blasting those fluffy bastards with sparks pretending they are zombies. Lol
@@AdventureTimeOutdoors Hi Nathan,are your rods available in the UK?
Regards Jeff.
I just got my fire steel from nathon 4071 .im very pleased.
Just purchased the sasquatch ferrorod 1/2 inch by 5 inch one from Nathan's ebay link you provided, cant wait to get mine !
Thanks for this video, I bought the Sasquatch, ordered it on Saturday and it was in my mail box on Monday, today, all the way to WV. Amazingly fast! So, his shipping is almost as fast as his fire starting. We pleased with the service and product.
Ronnie Murphy Nathan has a great product and is an awesome dude. I am happy you are pleased with your purchase! 👍👍
You're right. Great guy, and great ferro rods.
Nathan is the man!
Awesome video
I think nathans ferro rod has a lot of megnesium in it. It seems to be a real winner with the amount of sparks it throws off.
I am not a pharaoh rod fan but d*** That puts some sparks out there
Wow.... that is a real BEAST !!! It's almost a blow-torch :)
Nathan has been subbed to me for a few years.
Hemlock, you say? I wish I knew my trees better...
Muskrat Jim yup hemlock. The needles on a hemlock are flat like a balsom fir but shorter. Often people confuse hemlock tree with poison hemlock or water hemlock which I believe to be in the carrot family. Hemlock is a soft wood great for hand and bow drills. It is an evergreen but notbas resinous as pine, spruce or balsom fir. Nathan is an awesome dude with excellent ferro rods. The only other ferro rod that I have tried that is as good is 4 directions bushcraft ferro rods.
Wow! Sweet!
Thank you for the review, I need to get me one
🇨🇦💃🏼🐶🚌🇨🇦
R-Bus Travels you won't be sorry you if you get one. I have started close to 70 fires with it and there are thousands more left. best ferro rod I have ever tried.
Adventure Time Outdoors great video, yes I can see it's super great
Im gonna check out the product. Maybe order a couple. Thanks!!!
One of the best ferro rods I have ever tried. They spark like crazy, last for ever and Nathan4071 is an awesome dude who supports the community. Prices are great for what you get too.
Nice little neck knife too. Who made it? Can you provide a link on it please?
Very qualitative rod indeed! What knives du you use there?
Thanks Tim don't do Facebook but IG only plus my utube channel. Want to get one of Nathan's Ferro rods I intend to put on my own handle.....from deer antlers that I've harvested over the yrs. Take care bro . Daryl
That is awesome!
Sharon Martin thanks. Nathan sells some of the best ferro rods in the buisness.i am still useing the ferro rod in this video. There is still probably another 20 years of fires left in it........ and I make alot of fires. 😎🔥
Thumbs up man! I have the same "Sasquatch" ferro rod from Nathan4071, best ferro rod I ever owned! Subbed your channel, greetings from Germany!
Nathan sells some great products and he is a great guy. Thanks for the sub and the support. I spent a little time in Germany in 2001. Had a great time and the people were very friendly. I would love to go back one day. Thanks for stopping by.
Nathan is a very good person
nice test my friend
atb
steve
Thanks Steve. Always good to hear from you brother.
Looks more like a flamethrower, im sold! thanks for posting
Nathan is the man. I have a few ferro rods from him. I trust them 100%
Yes. That fero rod does shower the sparks. I think I'd love one or two of those.
It really is a great ferro rod. The sparks seem to burn a little bit longer. I put a link in the description of where to find them.
I got it and am going through it right now.... being Canadian is really going to add to the cost of these plus shipping. Wow. It may just be too much.
+Wheels gone Wild I will be announcing a giveaway soon with one of those in it.
Oh man I pray that I win... lol
I just ordered one from Nathan4071 this morning. He was very professional and very helpful. Great transaction.
Awesome I have a few ferro rods but not a nathan .I am definitely a fan and will have to purchase a nathan fire steel a definite must have.Great video
You won't be sorry. That was the best ferro rod I have used!
+Adventure Time Outdoors I'm hoping to get the 5"x1" monster once I save enough.
what type of knife and what's the steel made of where did you get it from
kenny cadarett the knife I used was a triple x Sable! The steel is l6 and it is an absolute bad ass. Go to triplex knives. com and you can see Derrick's lignin up. if you want another steel or handle material you can customize your knife if you want. you will find the phone number on the site and you can contact Derrick directly. he is a great guy and can help you out. if you want I have an unmoving video of this knife and a review of his Privateer model you can check them out if you want some specs and some close ups. if you give them a call tell them Adventure time outdoors sent ya. Happy new year
Please, what is the name of the knife that are you using?
It is called the sable. www.xxxknives.com/
Hell with the rod! I need that knife he's wearing!!
Was that Maple leaf at the start from now already? Are the leaves turning up there already? OMG! There is no doubt Nathan has the very best Ferro Rods out there and he is one of the best out there for sure!
There were just 2 or three on the ground. I didn't see any on the trees. yet. Those ferro rods are by far the best I have used. I have tried may kinds at different prices and I am now a believer Nathan are the best.
I've got the BIGGEST one he makes, it will last a lifetime😉. great channel brother, subbed you up. Josh
Thanks brother!
the smaller ferro rod isn't inferior, it just doesn't have the magnesium as the other type of rod so the tinder has to be more fine, a catail, cotton, dried grass etc will light up pretty easily with the average ferro rod, but those big magnesium rods are great too.
alizarin you are absolutely right! I have done a video using the smallest ferro rod I could find. It was 1" long and 1/16" thick and got the fire started in under 5 strikes. It is all about processing your materials correctly. Thanks for stopping by. 👍
Nice video and I as well agree that no ferro rods are the same. Need to be cautious with some of the Chinese manufactured ferro rods as many are actually magnesium with a ferro striker and not the greatest quality. I have not tried a rod from Nathan but the one I got from 4 directions Bushcraft is the one I take all the time now for sure spark, and it is the larger model as well. Great job.
I have heard the same about 4 directions bushcraft's products aswell. solid guy with a solid product. I have bought some from China. some were ok and some were absolutely garbage. It is good that there is at least 2 guys out there where you can be sure to get quality from. Thanks for watching
Take care
Mark
you got some ferro rod skills lol
Anglers Guide thanks man
lol, saw your video bought 1 myself... we will see. good video brother
Hell Hound Outdoors I am pretty sure you will like how it performs. It is the best I have tried so far. If you have any recommendations for me brother send them over. Thanks for watching
Take care
Mark
Adventure Time Outdoors best I've used so far is firesteel.com. they have several good ones. I use there gobspark Armageddon. check out my channel for a video
Complimenti,interessante. Mi potreste mandare il link della Marca,è dove comprarlo? Grazie
great video have heard nothing but great things about nathan, Was wondering also what neck knife that was. Thanks
Roland Silva Nathan is the man! He is an awesome dude and has a great product. In fact I lit a fire in almost 4 feet of snow last weekend with one of his rods. The neck knife is the triple x sable. It is a great knife. The cool thing is when you call them up you talk to the owner Derick. He is a great guy and makes great knives. You can also pick the steel and handle materials. www.triplexknives.com
Adventure Time Outdoors thanks very much. I only got into Bushcraft 5 years ago but been so fortunate to make some great friends. I️ think those relationships are as awesome as being in the woods. I️ was very impressed with your support you showed him and loved that it shows how much you love the woods and sharing in your videos.
Great stuff.
Hard to find really good neckers with decent handles. So thank you for sharing.
Roland Silva thanks man. Really that is all my channel is about is just getting out and enjoying yourself. It really is a great community.
Triple x makes great knives. I have 3 of them. Best bang for your buck if you ask me.
What knife are you using? breaking down that wood with that size knife was impressive!
That is the Sable from triple x knives.
living in the Tampa Bay area, not too much forest here, lots of ocean....
I just ordered x2 . I tried the exotac it works 😟 kinda,. You need Big.spark!💥🔥
Yo will like these. They work really well.
nice video man!!
from 2020.
Thanks man. Happy new year.
Lol...was that a sparkler..Great review
Love this video I just subbed to you I have 4 of Nathan's Ferro rods and if you supported a great guy like Nathan I will support you .
Thanks alot brother! Nathan is a great guy. I still use that ferrorod in this very video. I have made hundreds of fires with it. He will always have my support. Thank you for your support. I hope you and your family are healthy and safe my new friend.
@@AdventureTimeOutdoors thank you hope everyone at you end is staying safe and healthy .I do love his Ferro rods for sure I have from the beast to the octagon one .
damn that wood splits so easy.
Yup that's the beauty of scandi grinds. That sable is 3/16" and splits really well. Not too slicey though. If I was to get another one I would get it in 1/8" or 3/32". I prefer a slicer to a splitter. The wood I was using was straight grained hemlock though with very little knots. I probably could have split it with a karate chop. Lol
The gift of fire
Firesteel.Com is in my opinion the best ferro rods I've ever used, and I have hundreds of dollars invested in rods from everywhere except Nathan 401. I own over 60 ferro rods and most of them are 5 or 6in - 1/2 rods, and a monster 6in by 1in too. Bigger is definitely better in regards to ferro rods. The difference between a high quality high-end ferro rod and a cheap one is simple, how many strikes does it take you to get flame. I've wore down cheap rods within 2-3 months, until they ultimately snapped in half. I believe Nathan 401 is a little more affordable than Firesteel.Com rods, but they throw sparks like yours did every time, which is what you need when you're faced with marginal tinder. I enjoyed your video so thanks for sharing your thoughts and your experiences with ferro rods with me, I appreciate it sir.
Brad Barber I have tried many different steels aswell. Firesteel.com has a great product. I believe Nathans ferro rods to be comparable in quality but better in price. All things considered where you get your gear is of least importance. Most important is that you get quality gear and have the dirt time to ise them properly. I have a video somewhere where I light a fire with a 1" long by 1/16 th ferro rod that comes with one of those cheap survival kits and cook some lunch. It worked but wouldnt want to rely on that in the rain. Lol Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your thoughts. Take care and stop by any time
What type of knife where you using?
Rachael Rigoli that is the triple x sable. It is a great knife. To be honest I believe triple x to be the best bang for your buck. I have to other knives from them. I have videos for both. one is called the Privateer and the other is the Sitka. All three are excellent knives backed with a great warranty and very fairly priced.
Where can you get one of his ferro rods?
richard duncan the link is in the description
wow that is an awesome thrower!!!!
i want!!
Prepping for Beginners check out Nathan 4071 on youtube that's his product definitely worth the money.
Adventure Time Outdoors happy I found you another canadian channel like minded!! liking your videos!!!
lots of catching up to do
Adventure Time Outdoors can't find his channel brother
Prepping for Beginners check the description of this video. you will find his link there
Prepping for Beginners thanks for the kind words. I subbed ya back.
Great vid
Lewis Gray thanks man
Adventure Time Outdoors just found your channel, definitely gonna be watching some more videos
Lewis Gray that's awesome news man. It's great to meet ya. I hope I can keep you entertained!
very nice....
Cool.
Does Nathan sell these on any other platforms besides ebay?
Shoot him a message on his UA-cam channel. I'm sure he could work something out
i know its 2022 but can i get one of the ferro rods
Yes he is still selling them on eBay
Can any one tell me where I can get one of these?? Or a address for Nathan 4071, follow link, how do I do that??
You will find the link to Nathan's Ebay store in the description.
www.ebay.com/sch/nathan4071/m.html?isRefine=true&_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_mwBanner=1
I'm savin my pennies to get one of those.
Which rod is featured here.
Sasquatch
I Subscribe and turned on the notification
Heard nothing but great things about Nathan's ferro rods. Haven't seen one of his vids pop up in my sub feed for a while though. Is Nathan still making videos or has he stopped to focus on his business?
Ya man he is still making Vids.
+Adventure Time Outdoors Nice to know. Maybe its just UA-cam acting up again and not showing me certain vids and channels.
+Tactical Cats it happened to me too. I was some how unsubscribed from a few channels. I had to go back a sub again. Hopefully they get that sorted out soon.
Damn these look nice. I'd like to get one but I'm in Canada and I'll probably have to pay $800000 for international shipping
JNS Warlord i am in Canada aswell. I cant remember how much the shipping was but I would check out nathan4071 on ebay and see what the shipping costs are. I am still using this ferro rod. It has started hundreds of fires and still has thousands more to go. It is worth investigating. Stay warm my friend winter is coming.
Adventure Time Outdoors I was looking earlier and had a rough approximation at $20-50. I'll more than likely end up picking a couple up. Thanks for the response.
JNS Warlord can you send me a pm so I can reply?
Adventure Time Outdoors If I can figure out how lol
JNS Warlord click on about and you should see a message button.
I love Nathens farrow rod
Me too! Awesome guy with an awesome product!
How can I get one bro ...
Meteors lol thanks from Nova Scotia Canada Daryl
Daryl Buckler his link is in the description
Daryl Buckler hey are you a member f the Nova Scotia bushcraft group on face book. If you aren't you should check it out. Great group of folks. They also have a great gathering every year. All the best from Quebec.
Just subbed to your channel. Yeah Nathan is a great guy. I just ordered the same ferro rod last night. After seeing this demonstration, I'm glad I did. Now just need to figure out how to make a nice handle, lol. Thanks. -ATB Adam
Thanks for the sub. I am sure that you will be happy with that rod. It truly is the best ferro rod I have tried. Good to meet you Adam see ya on the trails. Take care
Mark
What metals are used in the Ferrocerium firestarter rod?
pull the rod back instead of pushing the forward...that way you do not disturb the pile???
Nathan's rods at $60 a pop should start the fire for ya
@nathan4071 Just ordered one!
Where can I buy one; his Ferro rods aren't in ebay
Clash Survival check out Nathan4071 on youtube click about and his link to his ebay store is there. or you can just send him a message. Tell him adventure time outdoors sent you. still the best ferro rod I have tried.
Will do thank you
Awesome video...new sub here. Love his Ferro rods...i have the beast, 2 sasquatches, 2 dragons, and 4 little ones from the good old boy Nathan 4071. A stand up guy for sure!
Where'd you get that necker?
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST
Many years. I have over 200 fires on mine. It is not anywhere near 1/4 finished
I need to go camping
Frugalicious Ashley yup me too. swinging in a hammock by a campfire is just what I need!
Ferro rods if its short term survival but long term its got to be a carbon steel striker.
I have a fat ferro rod like that one and i think used carefully it could last a long time, but ultimately a carbon steel striker will last a life time
Needs a handle with small storage compartment
Wow, just purchased one from him just now after seeing this video !! Holy Shit, fkn Crazy Awesome !!! Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙌 YESSSSSSSSS
sherry a oh you will be happy with it. Great ferro rods and Nathan is an awesome dude. Check out his channel.
Size matters when it comes to ferro rods I get one strikers with a no name 3 inch ferro rod and just got a 6 inch bayite rod we will see how it works
just bought one from Nathan. your demonstration convinced me for sure. Great video
weston williams I am sure you will be as happy as I am with it. Really is a great product. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow
you had it going twice then you just choked it out???
Gary voigt I saw that it had a tiny flame going just before I got it lit only after watching the footage. From the angle I was at I didnt see at all unfortunatly. But I think folks got the idea anyway. The ferro rod os a good one and can be relied on. Thanks for watching man. Have a good week.
Lol look at what else I got :O wood lol
I'd be curious to see if that ferro rod will light grass on the ground from standing position or even feathersticks.
Something to try for sure. It sparks like crazy.
I'd be curious to learn why people think that would be a good thing?
Nathans ferro rods even sound different than the rest.He told me a long slow stroke works really well. No frantic scraping needed. Thank you for the video
Ya it is true. You don't need to put that much pressure like others either.
