The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Magnesium Fire Starter from Coghlans is a fire starter featuring a rectangular magnesium block and a ferrocerium rod. This combination is more reliable and durable than matches or a lighter.
Wherever you are, even in difficult weather conditions, you can generate sparks with the Magnesium Fire Starter.
How this fire starter works:
Use the tip of a knife to scrape the magnesium block to create small shavings.
Light the shavings by rubbing the ferrocerium rod.
The rod will generate sparks of 3000°C and the magnesium shavings will catch fire.
Note: in addition to the small magnesium shavings, you will need to place dry, flammable materials nearby to feed the flames.
In addition to this Magnesium Fire Starter, you will need a knife! With these two survival tools, you will be able to light a fire in the worst conditions!
This magnesium lighter is a genuine military-grade fire starter that has been adopted by the US forces for use in their survival kits.
