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. 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 non oxidized magnesium. We sell only pure magnesium with out any fillers. I have used magnesium for over 30 years and it has never failed to light a fire for me. Please use with caution. Thanks for looking. Any questions please feel free to contact me. See you on the trail. Steve Kaeser

Great Fire Starter for Wet Tinder I searched for Mg with a coarse grind. Powdered Mg easily lights with a spark, but too difficult to control during wet and windy conditions. Powdered flares up quickly and does not always light your fire. It does not work at all in pouring rain. This Mg comes in 6 small bags. I placed a bag in wet tinder, cut it open and sparked with a ferro rod several times. The burn lasts longer than powdered Mg. These handy bags work for me for my backpack. You can place these in any bugout bag. I…
Great addition to a fire starter kit for damp conditions Approximately 30g of magnesium shavings divided neatly & equally into 6 small ziplock bags. The shavings are shiny & appear free of oil. Using a couple of grams of the shavings I found they ignited easily with sparks from a ferrocerium rod and burned brightly.
Magnesium. Repeat: This is Definitely Magnesium. It Lights. It Burns. It Works. Okay, this is definitely Magnesium. I just came back from a bathroom sink full of water (safety first!) and lit an almost 1/2 inch long strip of this held in Vise-Grips in under 5 measured seconds with a Scripto butane cigarette lighter. Flame On! Bright lights! And thus Magnesium. I’m typing with spots before my eyes ( do not watch burning magnesium).Note: Magnesium burns at approximately 4000 degrees Fahrenheit. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. You are made of water. In…
