Wow Jim, that's the 1st time I think I ever have disagreed with you.
I always carry both a bic and a firesteel. However, if god forbid I fell out of the boat while late fall or early spring fishing and needed a fire fast; it would be a ferro rod that will make that fire. A wet bic isn't much use to me.... Thats only 1 example, there are more.
I have practiced making fire with many types of ferro rods and tinder of all kinds, as well as in adverse conditions. I am stupidly(is that such a word) confident in my abilities with a ferro rod.
Anyway here is another video of one hand firestarting

Good stuff Tony, is that one of those Goinggear firesteels ?
