Magnesium Bar for Efficient Fire Starting - Cuma Gear

Magnesium Bar – Effective Aid for Fire Starting with a Firesteel.

A magnesium bar is used when you want to ensure extra effective fire starting with your firesteel.
By combining flakes from your magnesium bar with sparks from a firesteel, you can create an intense and hot flame that ignites your kindling material in seconds – even in rain, snow, or high humidity.

How to Use a Magnesium Bar with a Firesteel

A magnesium bar acts as a kind of 'fire booster' that helps you light your fire quickly and efficiently. Here is a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Carefully scrape a small pile of magnesium flakes off the bar – use the back of your knife or striker.
2. Place the flakes on top of or next to your kindling material (e.g., birch bark, dry moss or grass, jute twine, or cotton).
3. Use a firesteel to send sparks into the magnesium pile.
4. The magnesium will ignite with an intense, white flame and help ignite your tinder so you can get a warm fire going.

The magnesium flakes can be stored dry in a waterproof plastic container for easy and quick access if you want to prepare fire starting in advance.
