Firestarter Stick
Ferrocerium Rod Strikes
No Match Campfires
Episode five. We’re doing a deep dive into QUICK-FIRE Fatwood and QUICK-FIRE Ferrocerium Rod to see how many strikes the ferro rod has and how many campfires can be started with one fatwood stick. Make sure your knife that you’re using, has a flat Edge. You can also use the striker to fluff the fatwood. But if you use a striker, you got to clean it off after before striking or at least use the other side of the striker metal.
Fatwood sticks are hewn from pine stumps from old stumps.and in parts of the forest that have been logged decades previously so no trees were harmed.. They are manufactured in Peachland British Columbia.
Using fatwood in the forest is a sustainable method of starting a campfire.
You can see this is part of a fatwood stick. It is original and was broken off from an old stump. And then we the fatwood down to a smaller size harvest our fatwood sticks and provide them on the website.
So, we had 17 strikes previously on the striker, and this is fire number five.
