If you live an unusual life, you may need unusual tools. Also, there's probably more than a little low-key play acting, like when a normie wears "aviator" sunglasses. When I was a young kid, maybe 8, and home alone, I walked around the house in a terry cloth robe and a 8" chef knife in one of the pockets. Same thing.

I freely acknowledge that the probability of me needing to use a ferro-rod "in anger" to start a fire in a survival situation is relatively low. Carrying it is more just a part of my identity that anything probably at this point. That said... I've been caught out in flash "pop up" thunderstorms before, gotten rained on, and found myself feeling cold, while quite a distance from my vehicle or anything, while out fishing or doing similar things. At least once I was caught out in a storm and was on the verge of hunkering down under a bridge embankment and starting a fire, right when the rain let up. So it's not purely an affectation or prop or whatever.
