Product Review
Made and Shipped from USA. People always ask me what is the fastest, easiest way to start a fire in the wilderness, when it is cold and wet. I always reply magnesium chips and windproof matches are the fastest way. Magnesium burns white hot at 4000 degrees, it will light damp tinder. I put this kit together a number of years ago for my friends, soon I was making them for their friends. This method of starting a fire under wet and windy condition is fool proof.... Take some of the magnesium chips out of the bag make a 1 in wide circle about 1 in high will do. Now light the windproof match and put it into the center of your pile of magnesium, as the magnesium burns add tinder to your fire ( it can even be wet).... Kit fits into your pocket weight is 2.5 oz. The tin is 3 5/16in x 2 9/16in x 15/16in. Matches are 2in long. Bag of magnesium is 3in x 2 1/2in.. Will burn super hot even in wet conditions. If you run out of windproof matches you can use a ferro rod, wooden matches or torch lighter. Safe to carry in your backpack, survival kit or car. Thanks for looking. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. See you on the trail. Steve Kaeser
