Ray Mears Fire Stick

£12.00

Weight: 50 g 131 reviews

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, and can be gripped easily when your hands are cold. When used properly, the Fire Stick will produce a shower of sparks which will light your tinder of choice with ease.

Our Fire Sticks come fitted with a sturdy, moulded plastic handle which is subtly embossed with the Ray Mears 'snowshoe' logo. A hole in the handle allows you to securely fasten your Fire Stick to your belt or knife sheath via a lanyard or length of para cord.

The Fire Stick performs best when used against the back of a knife, but also comes fitted with its own striker.

I used one of these on the Fundamental Bushcraft course and it became a trustworthy, reliable friend. I wanted to get one as a souvenir of my adventure too because it has the logo on it. There are many ferro rod options out there and if the Woodlore team trust this one then it's a go. Cheaper ones might have a ferro outer layer and a core made from something else. Let the buyer beware. The Woodlore shop is also surprisingly competitively priced against Amazon and the like. Thank you Woodlore team!

Very light and small enough to carry in your pocket or top of rucksack, easy striking action.

Well made product, however found it difficult to create sparks with the metal scraper supplied. This was partly due to the rod coating, which seemed to initially inhibit spark formation. Hence three stars for the product as supplied. However, using an old hacksaw blade as a scraper gave much better results and the spark formation vastly improved as the rod coating was worn away, so currently would give five stars.

Superb, high quality fire steel. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Easy to use with plenty of sparks!

The rod works very well, definitely akin to the market leaders. I'm less impressed with the striker though as it doesn't work as well as the strikers that come with rival products.

A focused flow of sparks. Worked perfectly as expected.

This is the second Ray Mears Fire stick I have purchased, to finally replace my first one which lasted about 8 years of service! That’s now a stump so I decided to treat myself to a new one. Best fire stick out there for your money I think. Decent thickness and throws a very good mount of sparks. If used properly they last a very long time. Never lets me down. Have used it all over the world. I found the striker (which I prefer to use instead of the back of my knife blade) a little poor so I replaced it with a slightly serrated one. Perhaps a good idea would be for Woodlore to adapt the striker, with one edge being straight and the other slightly serrated, just to give the option. Just an idea. Either way, it’s a great fire stick and I’d recommend it to anyone deliberating over which one to buy. As always, super swift dispatch and delivery from the Woodlore team. Here’s to another 8 years of fire making.
