Great product! Couldn't get any easier to use! As with most of these magnesium starters, though, you'll need a knife.

Creates an intensely hot and bright spark that will ignite an ember in any dry organic tender (shredded dry leaves, pulverized pine cones, shredded cedar bark, and the like)by creating an ember that you gently blow into a flame after rolling the tender around the ember. This flaming tender ball is then placed under dry sticks and as the sticks burn you add larger pieces of dried wood to create a campfire. Can also be used to easily ignite charred cloth that flint and steel users ignite to make a flame from tender. The shredded tender bundle is then wrapped around the glowing charred cloth and blown into gently to heat and ignite the tender bundle. Blow harder as the tender bundle ignites to create a flaming tender bundle to put under a pile of very dried sticks.
