Is A Ferro Rod Worth Having?

Yes, a ferro rod is worth having as a back-up fire starting tool. Here’s why… ferro rods are light weight and don’t take up a lot of space in your bug-out bag or backpack, they work even when wet and ferro rods don’t require an external fuel source to work (no butane or lighter fluid necessary).

So, if you know how to use a ferro rod, you can be sure you can always start a fire.
