## Description

desertcart.com: Fire-Fast Trekker. Best Emergency Waterproof Survival Fire Starter. Magnesium and Euro Fire Steel Ferro Rod. Compact Durable Tool for Bushcraft, Camping, Backpacking, Hiking, Hunting, or Bug Out Bag. : Sports & Outdoors

Review: It's not lightweight or tiny, but it works very well - This thing is too bulky and heavy for backpacking, and if you carry a few bic lighters, do you need one of these? But I carry it anyway. The ferro material that generates sparks is far and away better than anything else I've used. You get a veritable shower of sparks and I've never had to strike more than twice to get cotton balls burning. It's like fireworks, compared to most cheap starters, and it doesn't take long to get the hang of it. And it looks like it will be good for hundreds if not thousands of lights. It works when cold and wet (which a bic lighter might not) and with metals other than the enclosed striker (the back of a knife will do). The magnesium is hard to shave off, but if you need it to start a fire, it's because you really need a fire and you'll put up with the difficulty. The use of paracord to attach the striker to the rod is a nice, if showy, touch. The fact that you can carve up the handle for kindling in an emergency is cute, though I question whether it's worth the extra size and weight it adds. People can pack their own tinder. To be perfect, they probably should have hollowed out the handle as a place to pack cotton balls and petroleum jelly, the firestarter's friends.
Review: THIS IS THE BEST FIRE - STARTER PRODUCT OUT THERE - This is my very first POST on desertcart, that is how strongly I feel about this product. This product is awesome, ..WELL WORTH THE MONEY... The size of the Ferro Rod is large enough to last years under heavy use. It also throws the best spark. Backed up by the Extremely Large Size Magnesium Rod, whose shavings provide long burning tender AND the Large Handle serves dual purpose of ease of holding and an extra source of wood tender....I will never need any thing else in wet or dry conditions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the overall length?**
A: 6 1/2"

**Q: can u replace flint and magnisem**
A: No, it's long lasting, but they cant be replaced.

**Q: Is any of it made in China?**
A: I don't believe so but you should review the manufacture's website.  My recollection is they talk at some lengthy about how and where they source their materials as an overall explanation for their slightly higher MSRP.  Here's a snipptet:  Not all Ferro/Flint is created equal. Most flint found in the market, used by many of the biggest brands, is subpar. The average product contains low-grade flint from China.
Chinese flint is only 17% rare earth metal and as much as 20% of the flint is plastic.
We source our flint directly from Europe. European flint creates a large shower of sparks, allowing you to start your fire with ease!
More rare earth metals = better.
Our fire starters are 76% rare earth metal.

In any case I've been thoroughly happy with mine.  It's easier to handle than other ferro rods & strikers that strive so hard to be packable and "small" that they are nearly impossible to "use".  This one is easy to grip and throws sparks like the 4th of july.  The addition of the magnesium is a nice touch too.

**Q: Is the handle made of wood?**
A: Yes, the handle is made of African hard wood. The wood contains resin that makes it water resistant - we did a test where the fire starter was submerged in water for 4 days and successfully lit a fire within 30 seconds after coming out of the water. Also the handle wood can be scraped and used as tinder - even after being soaked in water for 4 days!  At times we have purchased an entire tree and the wood color varies from tan to deep red. Also the edge wood looks like oak - so sometimes there is a "calico" effect where the red color is next to the oak color.

*by H***. on July 17, 2025*

It is just simply the best quality. Maybe a little big, a little heavy, but I think that is part of the appeal. This product is meant to be used and often and last and outperform.
