UNIQUE FEATURES
🌲 Premium Soft Ferro Rod
- 6" x 1/2" Our Large + Soft Ferro Rod: produces the most sparks, and is capable of scraping shavings off to light if need be! 20,000+ sparks at 5,500°F. It lights wood or dry tinder, no matter the conditions.
🌲Tungsten Carbide Striker / Sharpener
- Tungsten Carbide Striker: The best striker you’ll find & it doubles as a blade sharpener! — better than cheap HSS steel. Its rubberized grip and long handle make sparking easy for new users, while pros will love its durability and precision.
🌲 Beeswaxed Hemp Handle
10ft Beeswaxed Hemp: Wrap it around the rod for a comfy handle or unravel it as waterproof tinder that ignites fast, thanks to natural beeswax. It’s simple for starters and versatile for experts building complex fires.
🌲 12" Reflective Paracord Lanyard
- 12" Reflective Paracord Lanyard: This loop fits around your wrist or neck for quick access. Reflective for visibility at night, it’s handy for beginners and a trusted tool for pros in emergencies.
🌲 Burlap Sack Carrying Case
- Burlap Sack: Everything fits in this tough sack, keeping your kit organized. New campers will appreciate the easy storage, and pros will value its ruggedness for EDC or bug-out bags.
Not gonna lie, I was extremely curious about the tungsten striker but had doubts paying that much for fire steel since I already have a bunch of them. I thought to myself "have ever been disappointed by any of DJ's merch?...Hell nahhh!" so I gave in and bought the kit along with a Merino beanie (Awesome fit, going to be my new favorite toque btw). Upon receiving the Ferro rod and striker, first thing I thought was that it was much bigger than the ones I own making a strong case for justifying the price. I mean I'll be starting my fires for years with this log of fire steel. Also, all my other Ferro rods have always come with flimsy, underperforming strikers making me use my knife spine and/or the spine of my Gomboy Silky Saw for better results. "But what if I don't have/want to carry the Silky Saw?"...well the Tungsten striker will do the job just fine. It held its own yesterday evening to light up a fire for our outside pizza stove and my 10 year old son lit a campfire earlier this evening using this set of tools.
As any other Bear Essentials product... Bullseye buy for sure!
Thanks DJ
Thank you for all the items I received. Your attention to detail is spot on and the packaging is some of the best I've ever seen. The ferro rod and striker are very high quality and the non slip grip on the striker is a very nice touch.
The wax canvas tender pouch is well made and great for carrying my Lonon tools Kentucky Belt Axe. Knot tying cards are easy to use and informative. Overall the quality of all the products I ordered are of a high standard. Thank you and God Bless!🙏🔥
Big, chunky and throws sparks like a firework
The package arrived open with no product inside.
I contacted the company and they are sending a replacement order,
Looking forward to trying it out soon.
Shipped and received in a timely fashion (< 1 week). Very hefty ferro rod and equally strong striker. Works very well. haven't tested in the field but threw lots of sparks and ignited fire in my fireplace in the first strike. Firestarting twine in the kit will undoubtedly be handy as well. Great product at competitive price.
