Fire Stick Rod

The humble Fire Stick is, without a doubt, one of the most fundamental and reliable pieces of Bushcraft equipment available. As used by Ray Mears and the entire Woodlore team for well over a decade, the Fire Stick (or ferrocerium rod, as it is also known) is favoured in Bushcraft and survival situations due to the fact that it can be used even when wet. When used properly, the Fire Stick will produce a shower of sparks which will light your tinder of choice with ease.

Employing the same design and function as our standard Fire Sticks, these rods differ in that they are sold without handles, allowing you to manufacture your own. Antler and curly birch are firm favourites for making handles out of, but there’s no reason not to venture out and try different materials; indeed, as you can see on the Woodlore Blog, some customers have even made fire stick handles from Gumnuts! Ideal for those who are new to woodworking, and a great gift to anyone interested in getting hands-on with their bushcraft kit.
