Emergency Fire Starter Magnesium 6 Bags+ 1 Free Tin Box Camping Hiking Bushcraft

Small compact and easy to store and use

Ease if use. Starting survival fires

This product performs better than the seller described. They recommended 1/3 to a whole bag to start a fire. My first test was with less than 1/8 of a bag. I used a round ferro stick for striking. I was able to strike the spark, and get a sustained hot burn for about 6 to 7 seconds. My second test involved the same amount of magnesium, and dried moss as tinder. This ignited on the first strike again, and was able to properly catch the moss, and generate embers for me to feed. The only drawback I found was that the magnesium dust gets into the small ziplock surfaces, so I recommend bringing a larger bag to hold the magnesium pouch in once opened. It was recommended to make contact with flame for at least five seconds if using a lighter. Honestly, if I have a working lighter for five seconds, I don't really need the magnesium. It struck fine with ONE SPARK from the ferro stick, reliably. No matches or lighter required. It also burned hot and bright, in the same way I am accustomed to magnesium burning, so it did not appear to be alloyed with anything. The tin arrived in great shape, and looks very useful for other purposes.

Easy and it definitely works!!!

I purchased this to use only in an emergency when I might not have dry tinder to start an enduring fire. It arrived undamaged and in six individual, transparent plastic bags. Instructions said to use about a third of a bag for a fire. So I put a couple into each of the fire starting kits of the two Emergency Get Home Bags for each my vehicles. They came in a sturdy tin reusable container for transport.

No matter how you like to start your fires, carry a little bag of this with you. I carry 5-6 different ways to start a fire and, on my last trip, high winds were causing me grief every way I tried. I had never used this stuff before. Sparked up about a teaspoon with a ferro rod and got several valuable seconds of flame that got me started. I'll never go camping without it again.

No

I really like the product we use it to start fires for camping.
