My and probably many others favorite way to start a fire in the bush is a firesteel or ferro rod, whatever you call it they are a great piece of kit. My question is whats your favorite? I have been using a FireSteel.com survival as my primary for about 8 months and it is great but I recently ordered a SHTF from them and am anxiously awaiting its arrival so what ones would you reccomend to any newbie that wants a fire starter? why?
 
GobSpark Armegeddon with the scraper.

I don't have a lot of experience with firesteels in general but this one is a breeze to use and produces lots of burning material. Has never let me down.

Sparks first time - every time. Highly recommended!
 
Exotac nanostriker, brought it because it was cool. If I needed to make a fire and my life depended on it, I'd more than likely die.
 
Was wondering why you don't like the exotac? I have the xl and it works great. Would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks, Roger

To be honest, I'm pretty sure it's my technique when striking it because on YouTube they strike well. Probably best for me to use the larger sized Light my fire, strikes easily although it would be uncomfortable in my pocket and it doesn't look as cool.
