LifeSystems says:
A compact and durable ferrocerium rod fire starter that offers a safe and convenient way of starting a fire in all weather conditions. The ferrocerium spark rod produces extremely high temperature sparks at 2,980ºC making it easier to light a fire in any weather or at altitude. Ideal for use with dry fibrous tinder or gas stoves and more.
Our Verdict
If you need to light fires in changeable conditions then a fire-steel is certainly the most reliable option. Unlike matches or lighters, you don't need to worry about rain or wind.
The simple, effective design is amazingly lightweight and compact and it easily fits into your stove set or inside a mug. The ergonomic design makes holding and striking it in cold conditions much easier.
