Finally I was able to try out a ferro rod from 4DB! I purchaced the elite. 7.79" of molten metal that will handle marginal materials all day! I tested this rod on damp materials and in ways I have never used a ferro rod before and was really impressed! This is a must have tool for the fire kit!

$Bic vs Ferro rod... my response! I recently got a comment on why you should not carry a ferro rod and why a bic lighter was the way to go! Here is the comment. Ten reasons NOT to use a ferro rod. 1) calories. I burn about ten times the calories with a ferro rod as I do with a bic lighter. While that might not seem like a big deal to most people, calorie burn vs. calorie intake is vital in a survival situation. Your body literally begins to consume itself when you burn more calories than you intake. 2) reducing clutter and bulk. A mini bic is one item. A ferro rod is usually 3 items(ferro rod, small lanyard, and striker). 3) I can light hundreds or even thousands(3000 according to Bic website for a regular size lighter) of fires with a single mini bic lighter. The same amount of fires made with a ferro rod and it is probably going to break or need replacing. 4) ask chain smokers how often a bic lighter has failed them. Nearly all, if not all, responses will be never. 5) while making a fire with a ferro rod makes for sexy videos, sensible people who know what theyre doing will use what works best. 6) suppose you have an injury to one arm. No problem for a mini bic lighter. Try lighting a fire with a ferro rod one handed. 7) our tools are second only to our minds in terms of importance when it comes to survival and doing anything to damage or degrade them like repeated scraping on a knife just doesnt make sense. 8) cost. I can buy a lifetime of fire starting for a fraction of the cost of a quality ferro rod. 9) most ferro rods are black and easy to lose in nature. Bic lighters can be any color that can stand out on the ground making them harder to lose. 10) availability. You can get a bic lighter nearly everywhere that sells anything. Use the best tools for the job. The bic lighter is the best. There are some good points and some weak ones but there is no way you can convince me to give up my ferro rod. This is that story!$
