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

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.

Great product. Fast shipping!

48% of americans lack emergency supplies. Dont be the half of the population thats screwed if the shtf. I cant compare this to other magnesium because this is all ive ever used but i was able to start a fire quite easily with a small amount of shavings and a flint striker.

Works like it should . Great packaging . The canisters are well made , easy to open/close , it’s lightweight and durable. Good value for the money.

Proper care, just a little will do you, and proper fire starting technique, this will start a fire every time. Very light weight. Emptied one bag in a small plastic bottle to keep it secure and dry and easy to find and use. Good product.

fast shipping, good prodcuct

I believe every household should have at least one of these in Case of any emergency that makes them have to flee from their own Home. I find throughout Life, that it is Better too be Prepared than not too be...! Highly Recommend this Product and the Seller as well... Kev from New Zealand... :-)

Need to use a whole pouch to get a bigger fire going. Otherwise, if you can contain some kindling, this works great on a small fire.
