Magnesium Box is one of the safest tools for lighting a fire without an open flame from a lighter or match. It consists of a magnesium plate, a metal blade and a flint to initiate a spark.
How to use:
- Prepare a nest for kindling
- Scrape the magnesium from the magnesium plate on a flat surface
- Place scraped magnesium on top of the nest
- Initiate the spark through a metal blade and flint so that the spark falls on the magnesium
- Gently blow in the nest until the flame does not strengthen
