here's how to use flint and steel with a magnate magnesium fire starter first you scrape off some of the magnesium with a knife use the old one because it's going to hurt to play once you got enough you when you have enough then you put their basic foot set the let it in there you go using a magnesium fire starter it's very easy sounds good is just a flint and steel but it's easy just these two things can make a nice fire you use this new app to survival too so trying to get used to the flint rock so used to my to lodge it but still works it works pretty well it feels good it's like 30 degrees out no out can't see it I'm running out of battery and I'm getting cold and that's how you make a flint and steel I mean that's how using magnesium fire starter works really well highly recommended
