Exotac fireROD™ V2 — Tiny spark, long stories

Small enough to ride in a ferro-loop on your knife sheath, loud enough to start a fire when your cooking skills fail. The Exotac fireROD™ V2 is the stripped-down, dependable firestarter that refuses to be dramatic about it.

Who it’s for: the minimalist camper, the everyday carry person who actually plans to use their tools, and anyone who likes their tinder dry and their evenings warm. Part of the AXG Life—Life, Adventure-Ready without the fluff.

Key Features & Design

• Compact design made to carry in a ferro-loop on a knife sheath for easy access.
• Replaceable ferrocerium rod — don’t toss the whole tool when the rod wears out.
• Simple, durable construction focused on function over flair.
• Tinder storage integrated into the tool so you’ve got what you need when you need it.
• Perfect for everyday carry and backcountry use — lightweight and unpretentious.

Performance & Benefits

This isn’t a gimmick. The fireROD™ V2 scrapes out hot sparks from ferrocerium that will light dry tinder, char cloth, or that questionable bundle of twigs you insisted were “perfect.” Because the rod is replaceable, this tool has longevity — it’s the kind of gear that ages like a good story, not like disposable camp junk.

What it actually does for you:

• Simplifies fire-starting so you can focus on roasting, exploring, or pretending to be a wilderness chef.
• Reduces pack clutter by combining a striker, rod, and tinder storage in one compact piece.
• Keeps working through the seasons — replace the ferro rod and keep going.
• Fits seamlessly into your existing EDC or knife-sheath setup, so it’s always there when poor decisions meet cold nights.

AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready: Built to be carried, used, and trusted. Turns stuck weekends into hero stories and late-night trail mishaps into “remember when” tales.

Add the fireROD™ V2 to your kit and start making campfire stories worth telling — toss it into your gear bag and go make better evenings.
