STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING A FERRO ROD:

1. First, gather your tinder and kindling. This can include things like dry leaves, grass, and bark shavings.

2. Hold the ferro rod at a slight angle against the tinder.

3. Use the included scraper tool to strike the ferro rod with a quick, firm motion. This will create a shower of sparks that should ignite the tinder.

4. Once the tinder is burning, carefully add small sticks and twigs to the fire to build it up.

5. Continue to feed the fire with larger pieces of wood, and carefully blow on it to encourage the flames to grow.

With practice, starting a fire with a ferro rod can be quick and easy, even in challenging weather conditions.
