Description

The listing, Magnesium Shavings. (3 pack) has ended.

Up for auction is this 3 pack of 4 gram bags of Magnesium. This is a very light and highly flammable metal. It is in fine shaved form making it very easy to ignite for starting fires. This material burns as a brilliant white light at approximately 5610 degrees F. . This makes it easy to ignite with a spark. This is great for camping, hiking and emergency fires. This product is soluble in water so make sure you keep it sealed and dry. Use a good tender and small twigs to get the fire going then add larger pieces of wood as needed. I used some this past weekend to teach my Grandson how to make fire without gas and a match like his Dad does. It doesn't take a lot to of this product to start a fire. Once ignited you can not stop it from burning, There are several videos you can watch to educate you on fire building. Please feel free to comment or ask any questions.

I added a pic showing a small amount of shavings out of the bag. About the amount needed to start your fire.

All rules apply. verified addresses requested. Can only ship this product in the lower 48 states. Thanks for taking a look

How does one aquire these type of shavings on a budget? Sounds silly, but I am glad for any information.

The only place it is found in China so it's not like someone can go out and find it. You can scrape magnesium rods to make the shavings but I don't think that is cost effective. I will email you with more.
