In this video, I'll demonstrate how to use a magnesium fire starter to see if it's a good addition to a survival kit. Magnesium burns very hot and quickly, making it a go-to for a lot of people when they are building a bug out bag, survival kit, or redundant means of starting a fire for use while you're hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, backpacking, or even preparing for a more extensive survival scenario. Superlight, and super cheap, I feel it's a great addition and can be used by anyone regardless of skill.
