Except the one guy picked both an axe and shovel by forgoing the Ferro rod. I don’t recall someone not taking a ferro rod before

I could have sworn I remember there was a few guys who tried this. Some guy exchanged the rod for a net or fishing line or something? But I believe I read that all champions and runner ups selected ferro rod. Of the 10 items, all champs had sleeping bag, ferro rod, axe and saw in common.

I read this is because the energy requirements to make fire without a rod and maintain a fire with extra fire wood is not worth it in the long run. The energy saved or obtained by getting that extra tool isn't as much as easily making fire using the rod.
