https://www.amazon.com/shop/revhiker A short video on why I use a magnesium and flint bar over a ferro rod. I show how easy it is to shave the magnesium, throw a spark, and use your lanyard in addition to the magnesium as a long lasting tinder. These work better in bad weather with damp tinder and you'll never be short on high quality tinder. 
Thanks For Watching!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The cheap generic magnesium bars are junk! They are mixed with zinc to make them cheaper. This makes them much more difficult to shave and very hard to light. Dont waste your money! Get a regular Doan bar or one from Coughlins.
