The various magnesium fire starters work in the same fashion; they generate tiny metal shavings that burn with a high intensity to ignite kindling. These are excellent lightweight choices when using dry kindling or an accelerant. Then of course there are the windproof lighters that come in handy for a variety of tasks apart from lighting campfires.

   The WetFire™ tinder can help you get a blaze going even in a downpour. In fact, the cubes actually burn longer when wet!  WetFire™ Tinder burns at over 1300 degrees yet cools almost instantly when snuffed out.

   We suggest that you should always have a back-up means for starting a fire. The weight of these fire starters is very light, so having an alternate means of making fire should be seriously considered. This may be as simple as packing a Bic lighter!
