How to use Fire Starter and Tips

[1. Shave off magnesium]

Shave off the magnesium on top of the fire. Use a striker or knife to scrape.

<Tips>

Combine the magnesium powder into one to make it easier to ignite. If you want to ignite with a small amount of magnesium, tissue is recommended.

[2. Slide the striker]

Rub the magnesium body with a striker (knife). Rub it several times with force to make a match. Sparks will be scattered, so let's fly it to magnesium powder.

<Tips>

It is easy to do it by fixing the main body and moving the striker.

[3. Make the fire bigger]

When it catches fire, gradually increase the size of the fire. Take steps and grow the fire carefully! !!

Let's move the fire in order from the one that is easy to catch fire. We recommend the order of torn cardboard, wooden trash such as disposable chopsticks, and twigs.

[Fire starter floating on water]

“I think this is the only such product. Firestarter floating on the water w As expected, Bear Grylls. There are other advantages, such as being larger and easier to grip, but this can be seen as a disadvantage. Bear Grylls's model is recommended even if it doesn't look good because it's difficult to make a fire with a bitten finger in the cold.”

size:-

[Impressed when the fire ignites! ]

“I used to use an ignition agent at the camp, but this time I tried using a fire starter. It's tricky, but when I first ignited the tissue, it ignited easily. (Unexpectedly, newspapers were difficult). The impression when it catches fire is incomparable with the ignition agent!”

Bushcraft Original Fire Steel 2.0

A bushcraft fire starter can be revived by wiping it with waterproofing and can be used repeatedly about 12000 times.

Size: Approximately 60 x 9.5 mm (rod)

Weight: Approximately 55g

[Outstanding striker]

“I've used various strikers so far, but I think it's the best. The striker has a light burr and he gives a good spark. Instead, he can sharpen it quickly, but until now he's just a slippery striker. I think it was made with careful consideration.”

AURORA Fire Starter 440C

A fire starter that integrates a stainless blade and a magnesium rod when stored, making it convenient to carry and difficult to lose.

Size: Approximately 90 x 15 x 15 mm

[Interesting! ]

“As other people have said, if you don't get used to it, the sparks won't fly at all, but if you scrape the surface with rough sandpaper (because it is coated) and practice dozens of times, you can easily ignite. If you succeed in the ignition with this simple tool, you will be impressed with "Oh!". If there is not much spark, remove the stainless steel piece for ignition (it was a millimeter screw, so you can remove it with a domestic tool) and attach it in the opposite direction. We have also improved dramatically with this.”

It is a fire starter of Light My Fire that can be used as a key chain and has a whistle function.

Size: Approximately 75 x 26 mm

[Striker is good]

“I thought it was fun to watch the bonfire lit with a medal match in the field play video, so I played with a cheap one for about USD 3, but sparks came out and I was able to ignite alcohol. However, I couldn't ignite the tissue paper and hemp string well, so I thought that cheap ones wouldn't work, so I bought this one. However, even the real one I finally bought didn't work very well. It's probably not easy to use. I used to rub it quickly from the root to the tip of the stick, but if you are good at it, use only the tip and rub it to ensure ignition while exerting force. .. How to use it is still under study. As a product, I think the big difference from cheap products is the striker (spatula). The sparks are different from the cheap ones I bought earlier. I understand that many people can ignite with this, but I can't do it well, and it's not easy to use. w Even if I bought a cheap match, this striker could make a big spark. I want to learn how to use it properly with proper outdoor gear.”

[As a preparation for a disaster]

“When I inspected the disaster supplies this time, the gas of the USD 1 lighter was out. Purchased in case of a disaster that you do not know when it will occur. I used it as a trial, but it ignited without any problem. There are several types of fire starters, but I don't know which one to use, so I've purchased multiple sticks that ignite one point, two silver and one black, and three are integrated, but if you rub one black, you can ignite. I understand, but the meaning of the two silver is unknown. Of course, the instructions are in English. I'm glad that the ignition itself was easy. Of the three types I bought, the ignition stick is the thinnest, so I don't think I can rely on it.”

[Very good]

“I belong to a mountaineering club, and my senior used a fire starter to ignite a gas burner when I stayed in a tent in the mountains. According to my seniors, the match is damp and the lighter is worried about failure, so if it's about the burner's fire, the fire starter is the best choice. At the recommendation of that senior, I decided to buy it too, so I chose this because it has a whistle. The impression is ... the best! The senior guy has a red part in the picture, and the black pattern is tighter and cooler. Although it is difficult to see in the product photo, the flat plate to be rubbed has a 5 cm ruler on one side and a scale ruler for 1 / 100,000 topographic maps on the other side. In my club activities, everyone uses a 1 / 25,000 topographic map, but if you quadruple the distance, you can use it. Hex wrench? I want to see it, but I don't use it. Also, I feel that the length of the string connecting the board and the stick are not enough for me. But the knot of the string is not roasted, so I untie it and use it. Regarding the whistle, this is also pretty good. If you blow it properly, the sound will be weak, so you should be aware of "tonguing" when you blow it. In other words, instead of blowing with your breath, you say toe to toe while holding a whistle. I haven't verified it, but it seems to sound quite far. I will keep both in my bag.”

Survival Multifunctional Bracelet Fire Starter Whistle Scraper (Black)

It is a bracelet-type fire starter that is always out of the way and is useful in an emergency.

Size: Approximately 25.5 cm x 3.5 cm

[Practical use]

“The design is not bad and it can be used as a fire starter. The buckle is a little big and it feels strange when you wear it, but since it has a built-in fire starter, can't it be helped?”

Take advantage of Fire Starter

A fire starter is an excellent one that can be ignited without a lighter or match, and such an excellent fire starter will have different sparks depending on the striker. It is useful not only outdoors but also in the event of a disaster, so why not choose a fire starter that suits you and try it in the field?
