Sharon 👩‍🎤: The media could not be loaded.  It’s super easy to use for anybody. And it works very fast, very dependable. by the way it Hass to be dry not wet in order for it to work. Cotton balls definitely help set the fire quicker

Haley: I got these for camping and love them! I've been using these for about 3 years now and have no substantial complaints. They really work and it is pretty easy to use to start a fire.

The compass and whistle work fine, whistle is loud and the compass does what it is supposed to!

Roger M n AR: This was going to be a simple and short review. After seeing the number of reviews already done I would normally just skip it. How ever, there is so much mis-information, instructions and terminology I'm going to try.

1. The rods I received are not "magnesium" rods. They may have a little magnesium mixed in with the other minerals used in the Chinese factory which made them. The box indicates they were designed in the U.S. made in China. They seemed to have done a good job making mine.

2. My "Ferro" rods are what would fall into the "Hard" category as opposed to "Soft". Mine give off good sparks but not the longer burning sparks which result from a soft Ferro rod. This is because soft Ferro rods have more magnesium or other material which when scraped results in more material removed of longer burning material such as magnesium. The sparks given from rods I received are more akin to those of a steel chain dragged behind car. Lots of sparks which don't last long.

Therefore, you can't scrape off any substantial material from the rods I received to use as an accelerant. I realize this is what instructions on the box and on Amazon tell to do. Perhaps the...
