If anyone is interested, firesteel.com has a few decent sales going on.

2-for-1 GobSparks in particular. They make excellent fire steels and it can't hurt to throw one (or two in this case) in your vehicle and/or go-bag.

Yes, I've got two or three of Ron's ferro rods. Top qualty, and from a US vendor. Firesteel.com has been around for quite a few years.

You can get cheaper ferro rods on Amazon and eBay. Yep, you sure can. I get mine from firesteel.com.

I've got a 4" "Survival" and a 6" "Armageddon" stored in my kits.
