Emergency Fire Starter Kit Magnesium 6 Bags 99% Pure for Camping Hiking Bushcraft Outdoor Survival Adventure Bug Out Bag Hurricane Outage Watreproof Tin Box

I did a small test of the magnesium and it works perfectly as promised. I will buy more when I need it. The seller is great too. I had so many questions and they answered them promptly. If I knew how to post a pic of my test I'd show you. Believe me.. I tried. All said...great seller and great product! I highly recommend both.I am reordered this product today. I don't know why other people had a problem with it.I split it up between my car for emergencies and in my house for my wood stove. It actually works better than they described if you do it right. And ... sorry guys but I didn't have to use a lot of it to get a great fire going. I'll buy it again when I run out. I live in a remote area of northern California where the Camp Fire of 2018 left us in disarray. We are often without power and have had evacuation warnings since then. I consider magnesium a part of my survival gear. All I can say to the people who had trouble with it is did they do it right? By itself it isn't going to make a fire. You have to use it with tinder and kindling just like you would building any fire.

Only advice I have besides buy this now is to have your tinder ready before you start. This stuff ignited so fast and hot by the time my shocking amazement wore off the fire was out. I practiced a few more times and got better. Besides working as advertised its also pretty cool and so cheap I'm going to practice with this one and show off to my friends and family and then buy another kit to keep in my caamping gear and safety kits

If weight is not an issue, i.e. car camping, I would recommend using a Duraflame fire starter or log for longer burn time to get your fire started. I bought this for backpacking, where I need to keep my pack weight down, the magnesium is very light. One baggie is enough to get a couple fires started.The key is to be ready with kindling and smaller pieces of wood, to get the fire started. The magnesium burns hot and fast - so you need to be ready to keep the fire stoked. Easily lit with a butane torch lighter.Overall, highly recommended when weight really matters or for an emergency fire-starting kit. But if you’re starting a backyard fire pit or car camping, I would opt for the longer burn time of a Duraflame starter or log.

Ordered this for my bug out bag. Plenty of magnesium comes in this to start a nice fire for several months I can only assume. It's one of those things you never use, but you are glad to have just in case. There is enough to spread out over several locations if you are making up survival gear for a few. I just needed to update my gear for my car.

This thing burns at 4000 degrees take some out of the bag sprinkle some in your tender and it will GLOW this is what you need when it's wet comes with small flints but they work very good and often times flints don't ignite but the ones that come with this work well. And price is fair for new people who are purchasing for the first time

As a survivalist I honestly couldn't imagine this product being any better. It above and beyond highly recommended. Exceeded my expectations.

The volume is worth many bars of magnesium

Well packed bags of mag shavings, lights easy with a fero rod and lighter. Burns hot enough to melt pennies. Excellent starter, even in wet conditions.
