Well my old flint and steel snapped about three years ago and since then I've been useing TG's Sweedish Firesteel. So while I'm out here in Canada I decided to pick one up for myself, as I've been saying for the past few years...lol........but for a change and to make some comparisons I've picked up one of these magnesium fire starters, with a flame source of 5400F. It should do the trick of replaceing my old flint and steel.
Looking at the ammount I've used so far for testing, it should provide me with sufficient shavings to start hundreds of fires.
Will be nice to set it against the sweedish one in a field test this winter when it's damp and frosty.
