Reliable Tinder
Posted by 2010 is my year on 12th Feb 2010
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.

Beautiful Mag Bar
Posted by L Gleason on 7th Feb 2010
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.

It takes a little practice and then you can use magnesium to help make fires when your regular tinder is damp. This big magnesium bar has plenty of magnesium to start dozens of fires.
