Fire-Fast FireFly is a compact and lightweight fire starter that you can carry wherever you go. It is a must-have for hikers, backpackers, and survivalists.
The Fire-Fast Fire Fly is made in the USA by a small business in California and is an improved model based on years of experience making magnesium fire starters.
Fire Fly Components
- Ferro Rod/Flint – Fire-Fast uses Austrian ferrocerium, which contains 76% rare earth metals (cerium and lanthanum). The Chinese flints used by many other companies typically contain only 16% rare earth metal. But it’s the cerium and lanthanum that create the large volume of high temperature sparks that make it easy to start a fire.
- Magnesium – This is 95% pure military-grade magnesium that burns at 4000-5000 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a perfect fire starter even for damp kindling.
- Striker – Each fire starter has a striker made of hardened steel. The striker doesn’t bend or break, and its edges are slightly sharpened for effective scraping.
- The Handle: Built-in Tinder – In a pinch, you can use the striker to scrape a pile of shavings from the virtually waterproof African hardwood handle to use as tinder.
- An 18 inch long, 550 lb tensile strength paracord attaches the striker to rod handle.
