Carrying matches or a lighter with you makes starting a fire a breeze. Just pile up some kindling and maybe a little dry grass then just toss in a match. You now have fire so get cooking.
But what if its very windy and you lighter keeps blowing out. Maybe it raining and your matches are soaking wet. Its always smart to have a backup. There are a few backup options available but one stands out above the rest. A magnesium fire-starting tool can really throw out some intensely hot sparks to start your fire up no mater how windy or rainy it might be.
These small and portable magnesium rods with a metal striker can last for up to 12,000 strikes. That will last most weekend campers a life time. Its well worth the small price they cost to have a possible life saver with you on your next trip.
When you drag the metal striker along the magnesium rod it throws out sparks that can be up to 5500 degrees Fahrenheit. This will easily ignite dried grass, paper or many other kindling. It can also be used to start stoves or even gas-barbecues.
A magnesium fire-starting tool can even be used as a emergency signaling tool. Don’t let yourself get caught out in the cold without a fire. Please take one along on your next trip and you won’t be sorry.
These lighting tools come as a simple 2 piece set or in a knife combo like the Light My Fire SL3 Knife
