You are buying a Fire Starter. With this reliable pocket-sized tool, you will always be ready to start a fire. Our fire starter comes complete with a solid compact magnesium bar that can be used hundreds of times, or until the magnesium runs out. Simply shave some magnesium into a pile and easily spark the shavings (yes, even in wet or humid surroundings). The shavings will quickly spark into a flame so you can ignite larger pieces of wood.

Waterproof, weatherproof, and built for long-lasting durability—this is an essential addition to your supplies for camping, hiking, trekking, boating, hunting, travel, survival and emergencies. 

PRODUCT FEATURES: 
• Overall dimensions: 3” x ⅜” x 1” 
• Conveniently compact size 
• Waterproof & weatherproof 
• Solid magnesium body (silver color) 
• Black flint striking rod 
• Serrated metal striker 
• Detachable silver ball chain link

HOW TO USE: 
1 – Gather tinder (dry branches, bark, grass, pine needles, lint, paper, etc.) of the preferred size/amount. 
2 – Use the serrated edge of the striker to scrape along the length of the magnesium rod to create shavings. 
3 – You can either sprinkle the magnesium shavings throughout the tinder pile, or scrape the shavings into a cluster to the minimum size of a U.S. quarter coin. 
4 – Then hold the flint at an angle over the pile, while forcefully sliding your striker along the length of the flint to create sparks. 
5 – Continue to slide the striker against the flint until the sparks land directly onto the shavings pile and ignite a flame.

PLEASE NOTE: 
For first-time use, stripping the protective layer of paint from the striker before starting your fire will help produce the best results.
