Magnesium fire starter is a tool used for starting fires, popular in survival and tourism, because it allows you to start a fire in difficult conditions, even when standard matches or lighters fail. It consists of a ferrocerium rod and a magnesium block, which, thanks to its pyrotechnic properties, facilitates fire starting.
How does a magnesium fire starter work?
A magnesium fire starter works by scraping magnesium shavings from the attached magnesium block using a striker or other sharp tool. Then, vigorously strike sparks onto these shavings, which ignite due to the high temperature, creating glowing chips.
How long does a magnesium fire starter last?
A magnesium fire starter typically lasts for several thousand uses, making it a very durable fire-starting tool.
