99% Pure Magnesium Emergency Fire Starter Kit with 6 Bags for Camping, Hiking, Bushcraft, Survival, and Outdoor Gear - Includes Free Tin Box

Eric S.: 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.

josiah hinds: I love this fire starter, did a bunch of research before purchasing and it seemed to be a a good thing to add to my fire starter kit, and guess what ive havent stopped using it since i got it, this paired with a ferro rod burns super hot and gets fires going even in wet enviroments, only con is its super light so it will blow away if u dont secure it.

Carl B.: 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

Wooter rackz: 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

Amazon Customer: Excellent for back packing. One of the few products you can depend on when the weather is against you. The storage can is a convenient way to store the pouches. Do not let children or pets play with this product. Use with caution.

Austin Brown: Doesn't come with a ferrosium rod, consider buying one at the same time. As for the magnesium, it works great. The tin box is also nice for making char clothe

Sharon Smith: I have no doubt that these work but camping season is over here and I am not inclined to test these in the house. Not a good move. Once ignited it gets extremely hot and water will not put the fire out. It will have to wait for next year to test in a fire. Use caution.

samerow: I had the grand kids over a we practiced starting fires in different conditions
When we added just a small amount of magnesium the fire stated easy even with wet material..
It’s a must for your hunting pack or your emergency get away bag

Tina W.: 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.

Melissa: I didn't realize the magnesium came with a fire starter as well. I ordered another starter. The starter in the tin is ok and works but would be better if it had a long handle. But I am very pleased still with my purchase and it never hurts to have an extra striker.
