This ferro rod is big. nice large handle to have a good grip when striking the rod, and it throws some massive sparks! The fire starters are amazing as well. Very easy to light, compact and don't forget to get the metal tin to keep them in, it is very convenient and you can stuff alot of them in there! I am an avid outdoorsman and love to have fires as much as possible, even at home, so I am always messing around with different ways to light fires, and when i tried out this kit, I like it so...
