Yes, you can purchase a ferro rod at virtually any sporting goods store for a fraction of the price. Common are the magnesium blocks with a small ferro rod glued in on one side with what looks like a small chunk of spent hacksaw blade spray painted black and attached by one or those little strings of metal beads that never stopped anyone from stealing a pen from a bank teller window, ever.
On such cheapies the ferro rod can fall out of the magnesium block which is not good when you really need to spark a warming fire.
Enter the Uberleben (English translation “to survive”) Hexa.
This one is different. This one is special. This one just feels “right” in an unquantifiable sort of way. One look and you just know it’s a good design.

The überleben Hexå Fire Starter Ferro rod is an excellent backup fire making tool that will last for 1000s of fires. The 6 in x 1/2 in rod fits comfortably in your hand and gives you a lot of surface to strike sparks for a fire. The ferro rod come with its own striker and a leather cord to keep every thing together. It is a good idea to place some 1 in Gorilla tape or duct tape at the handle area to give you more gripping surface and also so you can use the tape as tinder if natural resources are damp or wet. The ferro rod comes in a zip lock bag that can be re-used to store and pack when not in use. There is room for a piece of fat wood the same size as the rod as well. I highly recommend this ferro rod because it already has angles that make it easier to strike than the normal round rods. The price is reasonable due to the amount of usage you will get out of the rod if used properly and for its intended purpose.

I have this in my camper and I find it easy to use. It is very easy to get a nice spark and start kindling for the fire pit.
