5-in-1 Fire Starter with Compass, Paracord, and Whistle

HOW TO USE FIRESTARTERS TO START A FIRE Step 1 Gather some kindling (such as dry grass, pine needles, small twigs) and some tinder (such as small branches, pine cones, bark). Step 2 Use serrated edge of striker to shave some magnesium from the rod onto your pile of tinder. Keep shavings closely piled together for best results. Step 3 Use smooth edge of striker to forcefully strike rod several times in order to release a stream of sparks aimed at the magnesium pile until it ignites. Step 4 Gently blow on the flame and start feeding it with kindling and larger branches until you have a full-fledged fire.
