Starting a fire with a ferro rod takes a good amount of practice to get proficient in. It’s obvious that the same holds true for any skill that we wish to master.
I was recently sent a Fire Wand from The Atomic Bear, to put through my review process.
When I received the Fire Wand, to be honest… it didn’t look like much. If it wasn’t for the credibility that The Atomic Bear has with me, I would have probably put it in my No-Go product pile and moved on. But instead, I decided to take a closer look.
Once I began to play with the Fire Wand, my opinion began to drastically changed. There was something to this little hollow tube…
I went into one of my packs and grabbed a ferro rod. With ferro rob and the Fire Wand in my hand, I headed to my fire pit to see how the Fire Wand would perform.
I fed the twine through the Fire Wand and I prepared the twine. The twine serves to collect the spark from the ferro rob acting as the tinder. I pulled out about an inch of twine through the Fire Wand and began un-twirling each strand and fanned it out to resemble a dusting brush. This will give you an ideal bedding and surface area to help catch your spark.
I sent a few sparks to the twine and BAM, the spark caught and I was ready to start my fire.
Now this is where the magic of the Fire Wand comes in…
The twine was lit and I was able to pick up the Fire Wand and place the flame exactly where it was needed. This made the process much more efficient not to mention, much safer.
Another benefit of the Fire Wand is that I can carry the same flame to multiple fire sources without having to repeat the process. Not That… is reason enough to pick up this cool little gadget.
To add one more cool feature to the mix, to extinguish the flame all that you have to do is pull back on the twine exposed at the bottom and, The Flame Is Out!
This is not only a much safer approach but it will also save you a bunch of twine for future use.
