Using a Magnesium Fire Starter

Magnesium is a very popular fire-starting material, as it is very effective and offers an even more intense flame than that of ferrocerium. How to use a magnesium fire starter is a simple process: Your magnesium (grey, not coated with black like your ferro rod) needs to be scraped off the larger block it is located on. Gather your tinder material (magnesium offers a short, very hot flame) and after gathering your tinder, scrape a small pile of magnesium (usually about the size of a pea if you can) onto your tinder. Once you expose the ferrocerium sparks to it, then it will ignite as a bright burst of flame. If you expose tinder to that flame, or create your pile of magnesium within the tinder bundle it should easily catch and hold a flame. Starting a fire with magnesium is very simple when combined with ferro rod fire starters. if your not sure how to use a ferro rod fire starter we've got you covered on that too!
