I am not having any luck with starting a fire using this rectangled magnesium fire starter. Ferro rod, no problem.
I use them the same way. Am I doing something wrong?
Magnesium fire starter is a cheap one from harbor freight. It sparks, just doesn't start a fire.
I even tried using a saw to scrape fine chips/dust off of the magnesium, then striking a spark to light them to no avail.
