## Description

Used from sea level to Mt. Whitney at 14000 plus feet. Magnesium is by far the hottest burning fire-starting material you can purchase. Other fire-starting materials burn from 700 to 1000 degrees. Our magnesium burns at 4000 degrees and will light wet tinder ensuring you can have a fire even in wet conditions. Safe to carry and store in your backpack, BOB, survival kit or car. This is the best magnesium you can buy. It comes in compact lightweight zip lock bags. Please note that magnesium is a metal material that can oxidize when exposed to air or heat causing it to turn black, black magnesium will burn just as hot as silver-colored nonoxidized magnesium. We sell only pure magnesium without any fillers. Remember you only have about 3 hours in extreme cold before hypothermia sets in. Our Magnesium guarantees you will have fire to keep you warm.. Please use it with caution. See you on the trail. Thanks for looking.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I ordered the 6 pack of shavings, mine will not light at all. I've tried a rod, matches, I'm experienced, so could it be possible to get a bad batch?**
A: I had the same problem so I took it down to the college for analysis.  This isn't the magnesium like you get in a survival rod.  The chemists said its an alloy possibly from the front end of a vehicle.  It will light but won't light easily with a spark.  If you can find a way to grind it down into a fine powder it might more easily take a spark.

**Q: In the seven descriptive photos, why is there a police sketch of a man; who is he; and has he been caught?**
A: Sarah,  That's not a police sketch.  That is our in house artist's rendition of the one and only Steve Kaeser himself!   And yes, he is quite a catch!

**Q: what is the shelf life**
A: Joe, we have not found any information which would indicate a shelf life for magnesium.  Certainly if one exists, it would be quite a long time.

**Q: Exactly how does one start a fire with the chips?**
A: Lowrider,    
The bag is a combination of magnesium dust, chips and curls.   It's best to spread out a little, so you have all components to work with.   The very small chips will light first, and that intense heat will light the larger chips and curls, and cause the dust to smolder.   Remember that this a a metal that you lighting, not a solvent.  If using a match, move the match about the pile in order to ignite a particle.  If using a ferro rod and striker, when used properly, the spark should take care of lighting the smaller particles readily.
Once lit, it will flash burn very rapidly, producing very intense heat.
