How To Use Fire Strip Roll With a Firesteel

Yes, you can use a ferro rod (aka firesteel) to light Fire Strip Roll from Production Hangar 51! Fire Strip Roll™ was actually designed for the Exotac NanoSpark (or even a Bic with no fluid left) but it can be used with a ferro rod or firesteel as well if you must...with a little smart preparation.

Even though it wasn't designed for a firesteel or ferro rod, the Fire Strip Roll™ can be processed in a way that makes it easier to light this way. The name of the game is surface area. Ferro rods do not do that well when precision is needed, even the best efforts are thwarted in a spray of misdirected sparks. So you want to rough up the wax coating on the Fire Strip Roll™ first. Then, create torn edges that expose the paper fibers more. These exposed fibers will light the easiest. Now you can fold or roll your section of Fire Strip Roll in order to maximize ignitable surface area! Now grab your favorite ferro rod or firesteel, along with a good striker, and shower away your sparks until your hear is content.

We do recommend you use either an Exotac nanoSPARK instead, because even though flint sparks are not as hot as ferro sparks, the ability to direct the sparks into a specific area is key for this product. If you prefer using a ferro rod or firesteel, we would instead recommend Wax Wood Stick or Fat Rope Stick, both also made by Production Hangar 51.

Installing the Shotgun Butt Stock Cover by RLO Custom Leather

June 03, 2022

Robert shows how to install an RLO Custom Leather Shotgun Butt Stock Cover. Made in USA by American craftsmen at the RLO Custom Leather shop in Bronson, FL!

In the video, the shotgun used is a Winchester SXP in 12 gauge. However, since RLO makes a large variety of patterns for shotguns and rifles, the installation process is the same whether you have a Winchester, Remington, Stoeger, CZ, Benelli, Mossberg, or other shotgun model. This is assuming your shotgun has a straight comb stock and is in 12, 16, or 20 gauge. Since many .410 shotguns use a rifle stock, most of those are covered with the Rifle Butt Stock Covers offered by RLO Custom Leather at Fiddleback Outpost.

Procamptek Ultimate Fire Tinder - Cold Water Saturation Test

April 28, 2021

When Procamptek set out to create the new Ultimate Fire Tinder, the mission was to build a fire starting tinder worthy of that name. It not only had to be the easiest tinder on the planet to ignite...it also had to be able to do it in any weather you are likely to face. After all, what good is a fire tinder if it doesn't work when you need it most?! Likely, when you need it most you are both cold and wet...which leads to your fingers being numb. You may even be to the point of hypothermia. That's not the best time to find out your tinder is going to let you down! We're talking life and death here.
