1. Find DRY tinder: Search for Dead Grass, the inside of tree bark or by reveling the dry parts inside twigs by whittling them down or making feather sticks. (You will also increase surface area for the spark to catch with feather sticks)

2. Add DRY Kindling the size of pencil lead up to full pencil diameter. You will find drier material by breaking off attached dead three branches rather than picking them up off the ground. You can also assess the dampness of the kindling by holing it to a more sensitive area of you body like you cheek or neck.

3. Add Finger to Thumb Sized Sticks to your pile. And NO, these do not need to be in any certain pattern or order. Fire doesn’t care how pretty it is.

4. Use the 90 degree spine of your knife (or other 90 degree metal angle) to shed sparks from the Ferro Rod. Hold the Spine stable and drag the Ferro Rod toward you rather than pushing the blade toward your pile - Ideally this will throw sparks onto your tinder without disturbing your fire lay.

5. Once the spark catches, - if needed - Use deep breaths from your diaphragm to apply moderate, steady and constant oxygen to the base of your fire. NOT like blowing out candles on a Birthday Cake.

6. Once you have Flames taller than your current pile and the smaller material is burning steadily, then it is time to add larger fuel to the fire. (Wrist Diameter and above)

Of course this can get much more detailed and complicated, but that is a quick down and dirty for making a Fire with a Ferro Rod for those who would like to try it.
