Top 10 Best Ferro Rods💥💥💥 Comparison Test On Poplar No Cotton Balls, or Fatwood!

great video nice information, take care

Lots of choices now compared to a few years ago. Thank you for the review, Jason. Stay safe and stay warm

For the last nine years I have used two different ferro rods, the one I use the most is Nathan’s and I also use 4db. Chris was my first sub on YouTube. I didn’t know he was leaving, I would have bought more of his product. Thanks for sharing. Tony.

Good video Jason , I felt like they all worked well, i would use any if them , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

Thanks Joe! They are all made in China i believe at 3 or 4 main factory's with minor variations on there recipe. Soft to hard and magnesium and cerium etc. I love Ferro rods. So i have been wanting to do the best major brand comparison i could for You Tube. It was interesting. 😝👊💥💥💥💥😎🤘 always great to see you brother!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💯💯💯💯

Nice comparison. I use the bayite rods because I like the softness of them. I can rip off gobs of lava with mine but they won’t last as long. Hope you’re having a great weekend brother stay safe. 👍👍🔥🔥

I’m still a big believer in the striker is the most important thing! A good striker can be all the difference between good results and assuming the rod is bad. Nice review and comparison brother 👌🏽👍🏻👍🏻😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🥃🥃

Interesting comparisons, that second rod definitely sounded a lot harder material than the others. The supplier of the rod isn’t necessarily the manufacturer as you know, they will all buy them in from somewhere and sell them on with their own branding. From my own research I’ve found European ferro cerium to be better than the stuff coming out of China. After years of buying different rods I have settled on the TBS Fatboy, I’ve got no way of determining the country of origin for the metal, but they suit me and the way I use them. Once I settled on my rod of choice I bought half a dozen so I’ve got plenty (more than I will use in my lifetime), like anything the material could easily change in the next batch as companies try to make savings and cut production costs.

very nice comparison mate, scrapers make or break the rod, and to be honest I don't think it much matters these days as far as ferro rods go. As you note they are all made in China. I love the 12% cobalt HSS scraper, they rip the spark out of a rod.

As an advantage over flint and steel, all of them are better. Each ferro rod may differ in composition but all work well for intended purpose. A dedicated outdoorsman would find an advantage in a particular rod or two but to the average user, each is better than rubbing sticks together. Great demonstration regarding the products available on the market. People can become frustrated with the technique and ease of use when attempting to starting a fire this way. Some choose inappropriate tinder to catch the spark, sometimes the moisture content is just too high. As a back-up fire starter, it has no moving parts and sparks every time, once you learn how to use it properly. Get one, learn to use and keep in backpack. Never be without the possibility of fire again. Enjoyable video, interesting content. Subscribed. Cheers !

Which is the best ferro rod? the one you have on you when you need it. Cheers mate.

I think I have about 7 Ferro Rods of various sizes and the other 100 Ferrocerium Rods are from Nathan 4071

They all will start a fire but 4directions bushcraft had them all beat.

Where did you find the 4DB ferro rod?
