Lighters & Fire Steels
Fire steels or ferro rods are tools used to create sparks. The first model of fire steel was used together with a piece of flint and tinder to start a fire. This method originated in the Neolithic era. Today, we have much more advanced and easy-to-use fire steels consisting of a magnesium alloy rod. Against this rod, one can strike a sharp steel edge, such as the back of a knife, to produce sparks.
Leave the matches at home
If you and your family are heading out on an outdoor adventure, it's likely that you'll bring a gas or alcohol stove. Matches work, but in wet weather or strong winds, it might be difficult to get the flame to burn sufficiently. With a fire steel, you can easily and safely get your outdoor stove going. At Outnorth, you'll find a wide selection of fire steels.
