My bad, it was the magnesium... I need to pay better attention to my posts before I hit send.
All I have its the mag stuff. Never even used a feral rod.
Now I have to go buy one so I can see what all the fuss is about.

I've seen the magnesium bars at Harbor freight but I haven't seen the feral rods there. I'll have to look again next time I'm in there, $2 is a good deal for a feral rod.
As far a burning through the rod, when I first got it, I took it out side several times a week to practice with it until I could start a fire consistently with it. Holding my practice rod beside the new one I keep in my bag, you can really see the different in size between the two.
