Used as a wrist loop, that cord lets you hold the rod well towards its end and so strike over a longer distance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\tMore importantly, this 50 cm paracord-type cord is a small survival cord.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\tIt contains a tinder strand. That is the brown one, the thickest strand.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\tYou pull that strand out and cut a small piece off. With a knife you fray it to make it catch more easily. A few strikes of the ferro rod and you have a good flame to get a fire going.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\tThe survival cord also contains a small length of wire, useful for a repair or for trapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe striker is made from 2 mm thick black steel with a curved profile that hugs the rod.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\tThe serrated end makes it far easier to prepare sawdust and fine shavings to get a fire going more easily still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential accessory for anyone who enjoys the outdoors: even wet, a ferro rod throws sparks and lets you light a fire, or a stove, easily. \u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt works just as well whatever the conditions or the altitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Firesteel XL Hardy is a must-have for the bushcraft enthusiast!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bushmen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52636679209307,"sku":"BUS-FSXLHA","price":12.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/6735\/2667\/files\/Bushmen-Firesteel-XL-Hardy-1-zoom.jpg?v=1774094592","url":"https:\/\/www.pyrene-bushcraft.com\/en\/products\/bushmen-firesteel-xl-hardy","provider":"Pyrene Bushcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
