Fire-Fast Trekker Waterproof Fire Starter – USA-Made Austrian Ferro Rod (7,000+ Strikes) – $34.95

Fire-Fast Trekker – The Easiest Fire Starter You’ll Ever Use Proudly handcrafted in Florida, USA

Not everything that costs more is worth it. We are. (Check our reviews across the web.)

Most ferro rods frustrate people. You scrape like mad, get a few weak sparks (if you’re lucky), and give up. The Trekker is different.

Premium Austrian ferrocerium rod (96% ferrocerium) + built-in 96% magnesium bar = a massive shower of 5,500°F sparks with normal, steady pressure. No gorilla grip, no perfect technique, no hours of practice. After thousands of live demos, I’ve watched 8-year-old kids, grandparents, and total beginners throw real sparks and light tinder on the first strike or in minutes. Most adults produce enough heat and sparks on their first few tries; many kids do it in 10-15 minutes of instruction and practice. That big smile when it works? That’s CONFIDENCE. That’s what we build these for. (As with any skill, a small percentage will need extended instruction and practice—or fail—but they do far better with the Trekker than cheap rods.)

It’s fun to use on regular camping trips, backyard fire pits, or teaching your kids a real skill they’ll feel confident about. Practice a little and you’ll have a useful ability you can use in good times or hard.

Some of the brave folks on Naked & Afraid have carried and used the Trekker for years. It’s been a testing ground for all skill levels of fire starting—in brutal weather and harsh conditions across the globe. After using numerous fire starters in over 200+ episodes, Executive Producer David Story selected the Trekker and now supplies it to all N&A survivalists.  You can be confident it will work for you too, wherever you go.

Ask yourself: "Who knows how to start a fire in the worst conditions?" Answer: Canadian veterans! The Great Ape Empire—a group of Canadian Vets, train with the Trekker, stock it in their stores, and trust it brutal Canadian winter conditions. Bushcrafters and serious outdoorsmen keep one in every kit and vehicle: simple, fast, reliable.

• Compact size: 6.5" x 1" overall – fits in any kit or pocket
• 7,000–10,000 lifetime strikes
• Waterproof: Works even after being fully submerged (tested for days)
• Hardwood handle with built-in tinder shavings ("fatwood" style)
• Carbon steel striker on 20" of 550 nylon paracord (7-strand core)
• Lifetime manufacturer’s warranty – if it ever breaks, we replace it

Stop fighting cheap junk that doesn’t work when you need it, makes you look incompetent, and is incredibly frustrating! Grab a Trekker and know you can start a fire—whether it’s for s’mores tonight or something more serious tomorrow.

Word to the wise: Just because the package says, “fire starter,” don’t assume you can start a fire with it. Dig it out of your kit and try it! If you can’t get it going, replace it with the Fire-Fast Trekker.

Add to cart – ships same or next business day.
