What is remarkable about the magnesium fire starter with a cord from the company Max Fuchs
This is a replica of the NATO army flint and flint. Purpose: a spare tool for lighting a fire (will save when the matches are over or damp, the lighter does not work).
The flint has a classic design, i.e. it consists of flint and flint. Flint is a cylindrical rod, flint is a flat plate with notches. It is made of very hard steel and is used to carve, by striking a flint, the finest metal chips, which, when in contact with oxygen, become heated. As a consequence, we formAll sparks. Their temperature is around 3000 °C (5,500 °F).

The Army Fire Starter rod is of particular interest, as it has a dual composition. A rod of a smaller volume made of a pyrophoric alloy (or ferrocerium) is pressed into a bar of magnesium. The first layer produces chips with a very high combustion temperature. The second acts as a source of sparks necessary to ignite this chip.
Such a design has undeniable advantages in inclement weather, when there is no pre-prepared dry material at hand.uta - grass, paper, birch bark, cones, etc. Magnesium shavings will replace tinder.

How to start a fire with a magnesium flint - a few tips
- Choose a campfire site where there is no wind. If this is difficult, use a windscreen - for example, from 10 sections of Tatonka Faltwindschutz.
- Scrape the shavings from the rod. Preferably a medium size so that they burn longer. Gather them into a small mound.
- Near preparationslay twigs, chips and other material for kindling with lazy shavings (tinder).
- At a distance of 5 cm from the chips, place the flint and sharply strike it with a flint. The carved spark will hit the chips and ignite them.
- Throw kindling into the resulting flame, and when the fire flares up, start adding firewood.
Attention! We recommend purchasing Max Fuchs tool set: saw, knife, shovel, ax.
