Some misconceptions about fire steels /ferro rods) debunked

[FishyFolk]

My bushcraft mate , Odd from the Norwegian Bushcraft channel kills the myths that
you need a carbon steel blade or scraper to throw a spark from a ferro rod/ fire steel.

And anyway, he's got one of the best UT Bushcraft channels out there.

Great video Rune, really interesting. Thanks for posting.
Really like the ferro lanyard idea too!

That was good, I have subscribed to his channel, nice to get something different, myth busters are good, saw a myth buster about Bracken as bedding on a decent blog site PaulKirtley.co.uk

Thanks

I've subscribed also. Looks to be a great channel so far.

It was the sandpaper that surprised me the most, but he says it has to be harder than the ferrorod, which it obviously is. I never thought much of the carbon steel striker myth anyway. I get the best sparks from the spine of my Chinese Stainless knife.
