• How it works:
• Composed of two basic parts - the rod and the striker. The rod is made from a high-quality pyrophoric alloy containing metals that include iron, magnesium, lanthanum and cerium. The striker is made of stainless steel and has a precise edge grind developed to deliver maximum spark. By scraping the striker against the rod, the friction ignites tiny shavings of metal, converting them to oxides and generating bright, high-temperature sparks.
• How to start a Light My Fire fire:
• Collect small sticks, bark and other kindling. The smaller the better, as it will be easier to light.
• Arrange into a small pile.
• Take out your Swedish FireSteel
• Use paper, birch-bark or ideally take out your TinderSticks or Tinder-on-a-rope, made from farmed Honduran pine (not currently sold in this store), scrape some shavings and arrange them among the kindling.
