How Do You Start A Fire With Magnesium And Flint?
• Get a knife, magnesium and flint. You can find flint and magnesium at any hardware or survival store. • Find yourself some fast igniting material, not hardwood or paper. Find little dead/dry wood and leaves, etc. • Make a nest and surround the nest in bark. • Scrape some magnesium into the nest with your knife. • Hit the flint with your knife and make a scraping motion so you can make sparks. Try to make the sparks hit the magnesium. When the sparks hit the magnesium it will start and ignite the nest. • Get yourself some twigs quickly and keep the fire going by adding more twigs. • Get some bigger wood and add it to the fire, but not too much to smother it or else it will go out. • Add some hardwood. Hardwood will keep the fire hot and will make it last a lot longer. • Sit back and enjoy what you have made. Put out the fire when you are done with a bucket of water.
