- Hold the firestarter so that the tip is pressing on the ground. Place it near dry grass, leaves, moss, clothes, dryer lint, paper, etc…
- Place the blade on the flint at a 45 degree angle and scrape downward.
- If you are lighting tinder, scrape off a small pile of magnesium.
- Next, ignite the magnesium with the flint. Place the tinder on the burning magnesium.
The magnesium will dry out the tinder and start a fire!
