AOFAR Magnesium Fire Starter AF-374 (2-Pack) Waterproof Fire Steel Pouch for Camping, Hiking, Hunting, Backpacking,Outdoor Survival fire Striker kit

This is a great little fire starter. I bought it to teach my kids how to properly start a fire and understand the basics of fire safety and survival skills. We practiced together and went over what materials work best and how to do it safely. I hope they never actually need to use it in a real situation, but life can throw unexpected surprises your way. I’d rather they know how to handle it than be unprepared. Simple, reliable, and a good tool for teaching practical skills.

After getting the outer covering off, these work really well. They are a bit small so for carrying in a backpack or where space is limited the smaller size is a plus. It is so important to have multiple back ups to starting a fire in survival type situations. I started a fire using a paper towel and didn't even need to shave off the Magnesium but could have if needed. Great Value for the money especially when your out freezing in the woods or need to cook some food or boil water. I have them in my motorcycle packs and jeeps.

I purchased these to have on hand for emergency situations. They are legitimate fire starting items that work as advertised. However, these items are very small and difficult to hold while using. The upside is that they are very light and packable though I don't see them lasting through a lot of use. They are adequate for my needs and priced affordably.

Bought one for personal use and another one as a gift. It works very well, with a good quality spark. Palm-sized item, can be carried while camping. Burns really good. NIce to have this one, satisfied overall. ^-^

I used to carry a regular lighter in my daily bag as an emergency prep item, but I always worried about lighter fluid spilling from it if the flimsy plastic casing was broken. I usually kept it in a Ziploc bag, to at least contain any spills, but it really wasn't preferable. I stumbled upon the manual fire starters, like these magnesium sticks, that are advertised as an emergency survival item. I think that this item is perfect. It is really small and portable, with no risk of carrying around in daily bags, so it is perfect for cooking while camping or if stranded somewhere. The item says that it can be used many times, as only a small amount of magnesium flakes is needed to ignite wood. I have not tried to use it yet, but I have no doubt that the lighter will be easy to use based upon the provided instructions. I am very glad to have found this item and I carry it with me everywhere for emergency preparedness. I have purchased this set for myself, and I gave the second lighter as a gift. I would happily buy more and I likely will. I recommend it to anyone wanting to have a safe way to cook on-the-go. Thanks for reading and I hope you found this helpful.

Great to have around and I would recommend these Black Beard fire starters to go with it just incase.

Everyone should have one of these ,such a life saver
