BlizeTec 6-in-1 Magnesium Fire Starter Kit: Emergency Camping Flint for Outdoor Adventures

John G.: I bought this item over a year ago probably and I always use it even still. I like to start my campfires with it rather than using a lighter or matches. Obviously it's more effort but it makes it that much more rewarding. Only problem is the handle on the rod cracked and came loose and so now I have to keep putting it back in..not sure how to remidy that but something isn't right about it. Other than that it's a great item.

Michelle Chance: Update.
The company reached out and offered to send us a new fire starter. This ine worked great. The broken one i would say was just a one off, or had been damaged in shipping. I cant say enough good about BlizeTec.

When i open the box the green plastic handle was broken off the fire starter. But it does work with out the handle,and was easy to start a fire, especially where i was teaching my sin the first time how to use one.

Riverwolf: Delivered very quickly , and produces decent spark . Wouldn't count on it in a do or die situation if you need fire FAST , but is a good backup fire starter for camping . The whistle works great and is a functional size to keep handy ...which is where you want to keep a emergency Whistle ;)

Danny Shafer: Performed exactly as advertised. There is a protective coating over the flint that needs to be removed prior to sparking this. I used the toothed edge of the scrapper tool. Once the coating was removed, it sparked up nice and easy. Lighting a fire with good dry tinder only took 1-2 sparks. scraping flint onto the tinder before making a spark helps catch the tinder a lot quicker then just sparking it. Using the flat end of the scrapper produces a bigger more steady spark. The cord is long enough to have some play to scrape with ease. The luminescent green handle really has a bright glow to it if left in the sun for 10-20 minutes. Its enough to see what you are doing in a dark situation. I cant say much about my whistle since mine turned out to be a dud. I couldn't get it to sound. A few friends tried and couldn't either. Just air would pass but no sound. It looked nice though. All in all I am happy with my purchase.

Scott D. Moore: Excellent Fire Starter. Innovative, with the magnesium integrated into the flint. I was able to generate a very good spark with only a few strikes. The included "tool" makes it very easy to use & facilitates the spark generation. Read the directions included - the magnesium coated flint should be wiped to remove the light coating of protective oil before first use. That should solve most of the "Gee, it didn't work" comments. Really didn't care about the luminous handle, so didn't test it - we'll just have to see how it works some evening. Lightweight and handy - a must for anyone's BOB or camping/Hiking bag. Excellent product & service from the company. Price was very good for the high quality of this fire starter.
