Reviewer: Bob P
Like many others here I've used these things for years, usually lose them by lending to friends... The other item that I use for firestarting is a credit-card sized plastic fresnel lens. If there is any sun to use these will work well too. I do like the idea of the hacksaw blade; will have to add that to the kit.
5.0 Rating This is a good deal! - 1/10/2009Magnesium Fire Starter U.S. Miitary NSN: 4240-01-160-5618 Made in U.S.A.5.0000
Reviewer: Dave
I just got this today along with my other things, had one before, if you start fires alot, this is good to have for back-up conditions stating the fact that matches can get wet and have no use because the sulfur would be all washed away, mean while this you can start a fire in the rain with it. If you cant start a fire in the rain, atleast with this you can dry this up with a rag or witch ever but then will still be able to be used, unlike the matches on the other hand.
4.0 Rating Nice....but - 1/5/2009Magnesium Fire Starter U.S. Miitary NSN: 4240-01-160-5618 Made in U.S.A.4.0000
Reviewer: Webz
Works great, but dont think you will be starting fires first try. This takes some practice to get right.
5.0 Rating Excellent, but practice at home! - 10/26/2008Magnesium Fire Starter U.S. Miitary NSN: 4240-01-160-5618 Made in U.S.A.5.0000
Reviewer: Martyn
Practice using this at home first, I have used one for the last 18 years ( Yes they really have been around that long!) I take an Opinel Knife and Duct tape it to the fireflint and keep that on a long cord, round my neck...... that way I have Knife AND a method to start fires. This little piece of kit has been the best thing I ever bought for survival...... Practice at home using it and if you cant start a fire with this...... then you wouldn't be able to even with a Lighter!
5.0 Rating This is a survival kit must! - 5/2/2008Magnesium Fire Starter U.S. Miitary NSN: 4240-01-160-5618 Made in U.S.A.5.0000
Reviewer: AZElkHunter
In 1996 I ended up lost while hunting for mule deer up near Prescott, AZ. Even though I had a Bic lighter, I used the magnesium fire starter with a pile of tinder and it worked to perfection. I spent a cozy night under a juniper tree next to a fire started with this product. It won't run out of fuel. It works when it's wet and it sparks up pretty easily. What more could you want out of a survival tool designed to start fires?
