Magnesium Bar
FireSteel.com produces these big slabs of soft magnesium that you can use as a waterproof and nearly indestructible source of tinder for starting fires.
Magnesium burns at 4000 degree F. Using your knife or FireSteel Scraper, simply shave off a small pile of magnesium shavings. When a spark from your FireSteel hits this pile of magnesium, the magnesium will burst into a white hot flame that will help ignite damp firewood.
Each magnesium bar has a convienient lanyard hole for easy attachment to your FireSteel and scraper. This combination makes an excellent Fire Starting Kit.
Magnesium Bar Specifications:
- Size: 1-inch wide X 3/8-inch thick X 3-inches long
- Weight: approx 1.3 ounces (37 grams)
- Burns white hot - 4000 degrees F
- Composition: soft magnesium

The one perfect wet or damp weather fire starter
Posted by Robert C. "Survivalist and Survival Backpacking book author"
As a Backpacker and wilderness adventure seeker
climbing 12,000 to 14,000 High Sierra Mountains, I know the value of having a tinder source that is 100% immune to water.
Nothing beats Magnesium tinder starter for sheer fool proof wet weather fire starter. Only Magnesium can get wet tinder to a combustion point in many situations for fire.
We never travel into the wilderness without our firesteel.com Magnesium tinder starter, fero rods, and a few thick slabs of fat wood.
Everone that travels with us must have these items with them and demonstrate they can produce a sustaining fire before we lead them on any adventure. FIRE IS LIFE in the wilderness and no fire can be a slow painful death.
Yes, we take the art of fire very seriously because we are seasoned survivalist that venture into brutally cold areas in which fire is a mandatory tool in order to get out alive.

Reliable Tinder
Posted by 2010 is my year
Magnesium has its pluses, it requires little work to scrape shavings off it but the reward is tinder that will catch on fire even if you have fallen into water with it or it is raining hard and all other available tinder is wet.
Also, if you need more magnesium simply add another chunk onto your firesteel lanyard.

The first thing I noticed when opening the FireSteel.com shipping tube was this big chunk of shiny magnesium, a work of art.
Plenty of magnesium tinder for dozens of fires. Fun to use too.
