In even the hottest and driest environments, the night time temperatures can drop to near freezing conditions which pose a very real threat of hypothermia leading to death. The need to boil and purify drinking water for hydration along with cooking any food you're able to acquire...is a necessity, not a luxury. The FireStorm uses a large 3/8" diameter Ferrocerium "Ferro" rod to ensure that it is strong enough to hold up when it's crunch time. The solid wood ergonomic handle and 7-strand 550 paracord lanyard provide a sure grip when striking the Ferro rod when starting a fire. This special alloy blend ferro rod ensures over 15,000 strikes of showering hot sparks (up to 5500 degrees) assuring quick combustion of the included paraffin infused ropes that will quickly and easily light a fire even in the worst weather conditions. Each log contains approximately 4 smaller wound rope sections which can be peeled apart exposing hundreds of smaller wax infused strands that can be made into a "birds nest" to easily catch a spark and ignite. Just wad the strands into a small bundle, place the ferrous rod in the center, and in a few strikes you'll have a fire going. Don't be caught unprepared...be sure to add this lifesaving kit to your wilderness survival kit, your hiking backpack, camping gear and in the glovebox of your vehicle, RV and UTV. You never know when the unexpected need for survival will present itself.
