Lifesystems Dual-Action Outdoor Fire Starter

Ferro rod with magnesium rod! Game changer, works perfectly, great quality too

A firelighting "multitool" with both magnesium bar (for tindering) and ferro bar (for sparking) is such an obvious idea I'm surprised nobody thought of this before. It's small, not fragile, easy to use, and will last for more fires than you're ever likely to have to light even in the zombie apocalypse. Great little thing to throw into a car kit / bugout bag and forget about until you need it.

I like this for its benefits of being able to start fires regardless of the situation, it feels solid however the striker could be bigger, I have large hands and the that's my gripe. Like all things, this does take practice, but once the paint is off and you have done it and got the trick this is great value for money. Great size and waterproof! Produces a fantastic spark and the magnesium helps get the initial fire going. Great starter one and easy to use once you get.the knack.

good little tool the magnesium helps your fire to get going

Got this as an Xmas present but already have one myself. Works pretty well. The supplied scraper/striker works well enough. A little technique is required to scrape a little heap of magnesium shavings and then ignite that with the ferro rod.

Not worth it, just get a magnesium rod/ferro as separate pieces. The rods are coated with a layer of something you have to scratch through, and are generally too short to be effective.

Having both ferrocerium rod for fire starter and magnesium for extra assistance is great. I found that you need to scrape away the surface layer first on the ferrocerium rod before you can get the sparks to fly. Also don't give up if the striker doesn't seem to work - I found that the side of the striker tool made no sparks but the end of striker tool worked fine especially if you scrape the rod in a flicking motion. An old penknife blade also made plenty of sparks - easy to ignite cotton wool for tinder...

Not bad for what it is. Little bit on the pricey side but do the job ok.

Muy chulo!

Heb al jaren een magnesiumblokje met metalen strip in mijn survival kit, maar de dual-action firestarter van Life systems is echt een stuk handiger. Goed beschermd zoals een zakmes en met een geintegreerde striker. Dat ontbrak nog in mijn survival trommel. Ben zeer tevreden over deze aankoop.

Even gewoon worden, maar werkt prima.

Funziona veramente bene ottimo prodotto x buscraft o x emergenza lo consiglio
