Fire Fly Ultralight Fire Starter – 1.75 oz Ferro/Mag Combo

Sale price$28.95 Regular price$34.00

Fire-Fast Firefly – Feather-Light Spark for the Gram-Counting Crowd

Under 2 oz and built for serious ultralight adventurers.

The Firefly Fire Starter is engineered for high routes, alpine starts, and any trip where every ounce gets weighed twice. At just 1.75 oz total, it slips into a pocket, harness, or pack strap without a second thought. Serious mountaineers and thru-hikers draw the line at 2 oz — Firefly sneaks under it.

Four No-Nonsense Parts

  • 6mm x 2½" Euro ferro rod — narrow, precise, demands a firm scrape (grown-up tool, not kid-friendly)
  • Triple-sized magnesium bar (½" x 3½") — shave a quarter-sized pile, light it, watch 4,000°F ignite your tinder
  • Hardened steel striker — included, sharp-edged, good for thousands of strikes
  • Hardwood handle — compact, glove-friendly grip

2023 Upgrades

  • Magnesium tripled vs. previous edition
  • Ferro rod is ½" longer and slightly wider
  • ¼" of ferro rod buried in handle for added strength
  • Overall length increased from 5" to 5¼"
  • All improvements — weight only increased by ¼ oz
  • Total weight: 1.75 oz

THIS FIRE STARTER IS DESIGNED FOR THE ULTRA BACKPACKER.

Modern Firesteel

The Fast Fire series of fire steels are a modern take on the classic military style firesteel. The modernized handle and magnesium provide the user with a plethora of fire-starting power. The handle is its own emergency firestarter, combined with the ease of use of magnesium. As noted by other reviewers, the magnesium will run out before the striker ever does; however, for the cost-to-utility ratio, this is well worth the purchase for any outdoorsman.

This is 1 of the best for starters I've ever used. Everything you need except wood. Works in wet conditions as well. Great product.

Fire Fast my Fire Fly Rating

The Fire Fly is a small, light weight fire starter that for the most part get a fire started on the first strike. The amount of magnesium shaving you get from each rubbing is small and so it time consuming to get an adequate amount. I found it wasn't worth the effort. I used my to start a fire in the fire base of a Kelly Kettle Trekker.

If you can't start a fire with this

If you can't start a fire with this, it's your tinder that's the issue. No not your tinder date, your fire tinder. We were able to start a fire on a windy beach just after the rain, once we got our tinder sorted it only took 2 strikes.

Yes, yes, yes.

I have a little bug out bag since I live in an area that occasionally can be prone to natural disasters. This fire rod, though I hope I'll never get to such a last resort where I'd have to use it, is perfect.The wood and magnesium both light up quick so you'll have an ember in no time! Definitely something you're going to want to have in emergencies.
