Meet the Beast Fire Starter™ from Forest Fundamentals™The description is property of Forest Fundamentals™ The Beast Fire Starter™ is back! One of the biggest rods we sell, this rod is a fire-lighting machine and will make quick work igniting your tinder bundle! The Beast Fire Starter™ is made using Forest Fundamentals Ferrocenium™. We believe we have developed the perfect blend of softness and durability. Forest Fundamentals Ferrocenium™ produces large showers of molten hot sparks at 3,000º C (5,500º F). The large rod allows for 20,000 strikes. Imagine how many matches you would need to light 20,000 fires! The extra-large rod sizes are easy to grip, especially when wearing gloves - perfect for colder climates and beginners. Everything is secured using a 550 'survival' Paracord lanyard which includes strands of copper wire, fishing line, waxed jute, and parachute cord. This multi-purpose card is invaluable in the field and has a range of uses including repairing shoelaces, fishing, snares, shelter building, etc. The new Stealth Fire Strikers™ are also included. Made from heat-treated Stainless Steel the Stealth Fire Strikers™ include 4hex bits, a beveled straight-edged tinder scraper/prying tool, and also functions as a bottle opener, a pretty handy feature when sitting around a campfire! More info on the design process is available here. If we were going to the for an extended trip or hike outdoors, which rod to take would be a close call between the Beast and the Stealth Fire Starter™.
