Product Description
The popular magnesium fire starter we call the "MagSlab Fire Starter" by FireSteel.com combines our special soft magnesium slab with built in FireSteel.com FireSteel, a genuine FireSteel.com Super Scraper, and over two feet of 550 paracord (thousands of survival uses) as a lanyard.
Not only is this a great price, the added benefit of having a length of 550 paracord handy makes this a true value in any survival or outdoor kit.
To use the magnesium as tinder, simply scrape a small pile of shavings off the soft magnesium bar using your scraper or knife. When a spark from the built-in FireSteel hits these magnesium shavings, the magnesium will easily catch on fire and burn at a temperature of 4000 degrees F (2200 C). This can then be used to help ingnite your natural tinder which may be damp and need this extra boost in order to catch on fire.
A big advantage to carrying a piece of magnesium for tinder is that it will not become damp or wet. Therefore it will burn even if you have totally immersed it in water.
Another great combination for starting fires under just about any conditions.
*Note: I recommend you also carry a larger FireSteel. While the built-in FireSteel on the MagSlab FireStarter is an excellent backup, the larger FireSteels are easier to use and give a correspondingly greater shower of sparks when scraped.
