Flint and Steel (ferrocerium) rod

What do you guys think?  Find something like paper, rags, etc., and use your ferrocerium rod to start a fire.  It should be one of the rare-to-find items but would be extremely useful and compact to carry.

Played a version of the mod (Namalsk 2017) that had it instead of the usual matches and I use IRL too so it's a yes for me!

Old post that needs a bump. Maybe OP can add a poll? This needs to be ingame. (Please? :lol: )

Yeap been thinking about this ever since fireplaces hit stable. You can use that to create a spark with pretty much every metal object. But as of now looking at how matches dont get wet in your inventory even if youre soaking wet and theres more than 50 of them in a box its a pretty unnecessary addition for now. Maybe later down the line when survival becomes a thing and is polished enough to warrant the need for such an item.

Any good mountaineering kit needs a ferrocerium rod
