What it is?
Our biggest firestarter ever, the fireROD XL™ is the bigger brother to the fireROD™ and has been brought to life by popular demand! Not only is it larger, but it also includes repair tape which can also be burned to aid in starting a fire. The fireROD™ series was created to be the perfect fire starting tool for carry in a ferro-loop on a knife sheath. The ferrocerium rod is replaceable so you won't need to discard this tool when the rod is worn out. The design is simple, highly-reliable and offers plenty of storage for tinder or water purification tablets.
Key Benefits
- Designed for Bushcrafting The fireROD XL™ is designed to cover several bushcrafting tasks.
- Your Knife is your Striker Use the spine of your knife to strike the fireROD XL™. Many bushcrafting knives do not round over the edges of the spine leaving them sharp for use as a striking tool.
- Tinder Storage Remove the top cap to reveal a large compartment that holds four quickLIGHT tabs (included) or a Tinder of your choice.
- Heavy Duty Repair Tape The approx. 12in. (4.7cm) of repair tape can be used for patching holes, as an improvised bandage, creating bush-crafting tools, or even as tinder (yes it's flammable!)
- 1/2" Ferrocerium Rod The included Ferro rod is not only waterproof but replaceable as well. Simply unthread it from the body of the fireROD XL™ and thread it in a replacement rod.
- Anodized Aluminum Body The fireROD XL™ is CNC machined, in-house from USA high-grade 6061 aluminum then anodized for protection in one of four signature Exotac® colors.
