Ferrocerium & Magnesium Bar | Fire Starter Kit

Ignite your outdoor adventures with the Volans Ferrocerium & Magnesium Fire Starter Kit — a compact, reliable survival essential for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and emergency preparedness.

This kit combines a high-quality magnesium block with a ferrocerium rod and multi-tool striker, giving you a dependable way to start fires in virtually any condition.

Why Magnesium Makes the Difference

Magnesium is one of the most effective fire-starting materials available. When scraped into fine shavings, it creates highly flammable tinder that burns extremely hot and fast. These magnesium shavings:

• Ignite easily from the sparks of the ferrocerium rod
• Produce intense heat that helps light damp or reluctant tinder
• Work reliably even in wet, windy, or high-altitude conditions
• Give you a strong initial flame that other natural tinders often struggle to match

The combination of magnesium shavings + high-temperature ferrocerium sparks (up to 3,000°C) is what makes this kit far more effective than a ferro rod alone.

Key Features

• Magnesium Block + Ferrocerium Rod — Scrape the magnesium to create flammable shavings, then strike the ferro rod to ignite them instantly.
• Works in Any Weather — Reliable in rain, wind, cold, and at altitude.
• Multi-Tool Striker — Straight-edge scraper that also functions as a map scale, ruler, hex wrench, and bottle opener.
• Compact & Portable — Measures just 7.62 × 3.05 × 0.95 cm with an attached ball chain. Easy to clip to a keyring, backpack, or keep in a pocket.
• Lightweight & Durable — Built for real outdoor use without adding bulk to your kit.

How to Use

1. Scrape the magnesium bar with the striker to create a small pile of fine shavings on your tinder.
2. Strike the ferrocerium rod firmly with the striker to throw hot sparks onto the magnesium.
3. The magnesium ignites quickly and produces a strong flame to light your fire.

Whether you’re building a campfire after a long day on the trail or preparing for unexpected situations, the Volans Ferrocerium & Magnesium Fire Starter Kit gives you a proven, no-fuss method to get a fire going when it matters most.
