After posting on key chain ferro rods I got to wondering. Do you edc a firesteel? If so, what kind?
I am adding a Strike Master K1 to my key chain.

I have a Light My Fire -firesteel, and I think that's too big for my keychain. Also, in urban-suburban environment I don't really need one, since fire is not the 1st priority in said environment (and I have a lighter with me anyway). If I can find a really small, keychain size firesteel, I might start carrying one.

In the woods, even for a short few-hour hike, I always have it with me though.
 
i have a BSA hotspark on my key chain... and i also have strike master K-1... both are great for EDC...
 
Well.. I use to, but honestly I am a smoker, so I always have two lighters on me. But I do have a ferrorod in my Get home bag in my car.
 
I edc two. One in my wallet, and one on my key ring. The wallet is just a bare rod that fell off of something that looks a lot like a Strike Master K1. The key ring rod is an LMF scout.
 
I carry a PSK in my pocket. It contains a light my fire ferro rod, some dental floss, bit of tinder, and a Mini lighter. It is basically a change purse. Or I carry a leatherman ST with a ferro rod attached to the sheath.

Never leave home w/o fire!!!!!
 
There are several good ones out there. I carry two; a military one in the side pouch of my Leatherman:

I also keep a key chain version on my main key chain:

The BSA is also a simple and inexpensvie one works quite well.

I carry a LMF Army model and some fatwood in my Maxpedition Fatboy Jumbo, along with a Coghlan's mag block, a couple of mini-bics, a few firestraws, and a small altoids tin full of birch bark.

You know, when I write it all out like that, I think that just maybe what my wife says about me is true. :confused:
 
Yep. I edc a handleless rod.
 
I EDC a small Ferro rod I picked up when Kiahs was selling them, its also on my key ring.
 
Doan mag block on a small piece of 550 with spare van and apt. key and a Fox 40 on my belt, EDC!

i don't carry one for EDC, i carry a lighter or a matchsafe instead. better for what i use them for.

i do keep one in my woods gear thoug, for when the matches run out or the lighter gets wet, basically as a backup...
 
BSA hot spark on my key chain and a mini model LMF in my wallet. Plus a Army model in my truck BOB. Very handy to have!
 
I'm edc'ing a bare rod, without handle. Just drilled a hole in it, so I can attach it to the keyring. Also a scraper is attached, and a small pillholder with PJB...
