Minuteman "Forever 50" Fire Starter

The Minuteman "Forever 50" Fire Starter is the last ferrocerrium rod fire starter you will ever need to buy. The 1/2" rod is rated at 100,000 uses and produces a shower of sparks when scraped with the attached scraper tool. The sparks can be used to ignite a variety of commonly found natural and household materials to create a fire in any weather.

When you purchase a "Forever 50"  we offer to add either one or two (1) pound bags of Maya Sticks fatwood to your order at a  discounted price. Look for these options in the color selection menu. The Maya Sticks contain upwards of 80% resin. They can be processed down to make Maya Dust and fatwood shavings, the two best natural fire starting materi
