Looking for an awesome magnesium fire starter?

Everyone needs some type of way to start a fire while camping or even if SHTF. A magnesium fire starter is an easy to carry and versatile tool for any outdoorsman or survivalist type!

I’ve used a whole bunch of these types of fire starters and always go back to magnesium-style options.

The magnesium versions are just the best. Magnesium works best in any type of environment (even underwater!) and are the easiest to get an emergency fire going. Plus, they are versatile in their ability to adapt to any type of burning material and last a lot longer than the cheap versions.

Magnesium fire starters are used by the military for getting a fire going anywhere around the world. If the best military on this planet trusts them, I knew I had to give them a try.

And I’m glad I did. They are a super handy tool to have around. I like to bring mine whenever I go out camping or hiking.

Check out this video below for an in-depth review of how they work!

If you’re looking for a really good and long-lasting one, I’d recommend the Navigator 1 Firestarter. It’s manufactured by the same individuals that are pictured in the video above.

It’s best in my opinion to get one of these reliable ones. That way you don’t have to keep buying the cheap and quick-to-break versions. Nothings worse than going camping and realizing your old cheap firestarter won’t work.
