Guys gals kids and dogs lol the reason itβs important to learn to throw better sparks is because as you progress and become more skilled you should be more efficient with different tinder types. My kid was 3 and was making fire with cotton balls. This video is about teaching you to get better and beyond just using store bought fire starters. Shavings in damp weather, duct tape balls and a damp birds nest. Igniting Those types of things with a ferro rod in adverse weather is what we are trying to learn.

To everyone in Youtube land: I purchased the coalcracker 6inch ferro rod, and carry it with a piece of broken file( high carbon steel ) I have never failed to make a fire with these tools. Listen to the teacher, he knows what he's talking about. π

Great video, brother.

Gramps made sure all his grandkids knew how to use a ferro rod. Such good memories of my cousins, sisters and me camping and making a bunch of little fires along the nooksack river. Still have a very worn down magnesium/ferro starter he got me when I was 10.

I will have to make up another dance for this new intro.

Thanks for the tips. Using a ferro rod efficiently is harder than it looks!

Hey Dan, that other intro beat is where it's at. Don't abandon that one. Great video!
-
Proper technique tips are always appreciated.

I always focus on keeping the striker stationary and pull the rod back. Maybe it's just me but the sparks always go right where I intend them to go.

Thank you for this! I've been trying for years and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm an old lady with weak fingers but at least you gave me a direction. I'll keep practicing β€

You are one of the best instructors I have seen. Narrative, demonstration, technique, review. Great job. After watching this and practicing anyone should be able to start a fire quickly with a minimum of effort.

The classic intro was perfect. I can't NOT feel a sense of lack with this new one, no matter how fantastic.

I know this might sound ridiculous to most people but after watching this, i went outside and tried the ferro rod again (ive never been able to do it right before) and it worked! I was soo happy i FINALLY could use the damn thing and am glad i didnt get rid of it lol thank you for breaking it down crayola style for me π

Best channel in the tube - watched this and went to the website to get the 6β rod (and some other stuff π€¦ββοΈ) - as a fellow PA resident (Northumberland County) I love what you got going on brother - hoping to free up some time in the near future for a weekend course π
