About This

• A Wilderness Workhorse - The simpler the better, an idea we followed when making the Überleben Kräftig Fire Starter Ferro Rod. Nothing fancy, just a solid 1/2" thick ferrocerium rod to get the sparks flying. It may seem like overkill, but is that a bad thing?
• High-Performance Ferro Blend - Our trademark Sånft-korr ferrocerium rod blend is balanced for both softness and durability. This waterproof fire starter ignites fires with ease in any altitude or weather, even when wet.
• High-Temperature Sparks - When it comes to fire starters for survival, the reason to pick our emergency fire starter rod is the ease at which it sparks and rains down 5,500°F molten showers to set your tinder ablaze when it matters the most.
• Multi-Tool Fire Striker & Lanyard - This backpacking fire starter includes a shock-cord lanyard and a 6-function multi-tool: straight-edge striker, tinder scraper, map scale, ruler, hex wrench, and bottle opener. It's a must-have for any survival fire starter kit.
• Available in 2 Lengths - The Kräftig ferro rod with striker is available two options: 5" or 8" long with 1/2" thickness that provides 20,000+ strikes.
