Nice video, thanks for the info! We all have our favorites, I’ll take the LightMyFire FireSteel over all the others any day! The magnesium is built into the LightMyFire FireSteels so no need to scrape a bar of magnesium. Sparks at 5,400 degrees F (3,000 degrees C). I carry one in the case with my Leatherman Wave and use the back of the saw blade as the striker.
Im liking the “Primus” branded one @ the mo. The extra length is great & better sparks than the “Light my fire”
Without watching, StrikeForce. Walmart sells them at half what they cost online.
Got an el cheapo magnesium block with mounted ferrous rod.. backing Akbar, a n d some decent tinder(dryer lint for experimenting) had fire going first try in under a minute… Never had any luck with the compression pistons yet….
Mag bar cotton balls and lamp oil
I like using a fire piston
i need some
