Before you head out

A ferro rod creates sparks, not a guaranteed fire. Suitable tinder, preparation and technique matter. Practise in a safe, permitted setting before packing it as your backup.

Only light fires where permitted, follow local fire restrictions and fully extinguish any fire before leaving.
