At least you explained that you enjoyed doing it this way.
I think the biggest problem I have with any of these fero rod/magnesium type of firestarters, is that if you are prepping to take all of this stuff with you, just take a storm lighter/jet lighter, and it will light anything in pretty much any weather conditions.it’s not as though a ferro rod is traditional like a Flint and steel - it is a very modern man-made item. So just use a gas lighter.

[@prepperinthewoods]

I keep a arc lighter in my coat which is useful at time. Sometimes it’s good to struggle as well

[@teddykennedy7053]

I have the same one and the scraper worked just fine with for me, no issues.

[@shovelhead8]

Looks OK. Carbide scraper should do the trick as well. Thank you for showing this to us, Joe. Stay safe and stay warm

[@prepperinthewoods]

Thanks shovel and thanks for watching as always.

Square off the spine of striker with a grinder or sharpening stone. They are stamped manufactured thus have rolled edge by default. Plus the paint on them makes them even rounder.
Sharpen its spine.

[@arctodussimus6198]

This is not a bad piece of kit. The back side of a two inch piece of hacksaw blade makes a better scraper. You want tiny magnesium curls, not a powdery substance. Wrap the handle with some duct tape. Tear off a couple of inches and scrape the magnesium onto the sticky side. The wind won’t blow it away as easily, and the tape is a flame extender if you only have marginal tinder.

[@prepperinthewoods]

Yup all good advice. Just editing a new video with the ferro rod I use and that has duct tape as a handle 👍🏼

[@peterbennpan7288]

I find that using the scraper on the other side with the cut out side scraps the magnesium alot better?

[@andymaidment8660]

Hi were did you buy that ferro rod from

[@prepperinthewoods]

Got it off Amazon uk. If your in the states it should be there. If not there is a company I think is called “survival fire starters” or something similar they do one as well

[@rolandvillarreal2687]

Thanks Prepper in the Woods.

[@HarshmanHills]

I’ve always found those strikers suck. And I prefer a thicker ferro rod over having the magnesium.

[@prepperinthewoods]

Think the rod is smaller as it dosent take much to start it off. Also saves weight. I use my uberleben hexi rod as my go to rod

[@FredPhillip601]

How do you make that look so easy?! I'm sweating...my sparks hit the mag but it won't ignite.
