Problems with starting in the wind?Reviewed by D. faletti, 2010-03-05
I always have a little fine steel wool in the pack with this,
scrape off a little magnesium into the steel wool and spark
it.starts fast
Learned that trick in boy scouts back when I was a pup and wasn't
allowed to play with matches,
Burnt down ½ the garage and was the only kid in the neighborhood
that wasn't allowed to play with steel wool.
Trust me, works great, same as they have for decades.the price is a
little high
Like anything you should try it before you need it (just don't do
it in the garage)

Very effective for starting a campfire. Be sure to have all your kindling in place since it burns fast.
A Must Have!Reviewed by John A. Kaiser, 2010-02-10
this is with out a doubt a great item! I keep it on my key chain for a backup fire starter.
$ 6.88 at wallmartReviewed by Gdaiva, 2010-02-06
Haven't used it, but shopping around, and found one at wallmart, so I'll save it on shiping. But going to buy the sweedish one too, seems more reliable.
Put It In Your Backpack!Reviewed by James Veith, 2010-01-30
It's Winter in Wisconsin, so I didn't go out in the cold and snow
to try it out to make a fire. But I did (carefully in a metal pan)
start a small piece of kleenex on fire in our basement so I know it
works, and works easily and beautifully. It's one of those items
that I bought and will almost definitely never need, yet if I ever
do get caught out overnight while doing a hike somewhere, I know I
will not be without fire. I put it with other emergency pieces
inside my backpack with a small cheap pocket knife (you need this
to create the spark)and that's where I will leave it except for
"play" fire starting (like to impress friends in an outdoor fire
pit), or when it's needed for the real thing.
How can you claim to be a hiker/adventurer if you can't make a fire
without a lighter or matches?!!!
