Mg Block: Don't toss it. It is the one thing I have gotten to work without question anywhere/anytime/any conditions. Instead of shaving with a blade file with your multi-tool file for powder. Then get some shavings with a blade. Make a dime to quarter size pile and spark it up. If it fails, you are going to die anyway because there is no oxygen in you environment.

Good Luck


I did that with the Wet Fire without much success. I will experiment at home in a more controlled environment.

I had used that block in the past without problem. I was shaving it and filing it, but didn't seem to catch as well as it used too. Probably needed more patience with it as I was rushing a bit when demoing to the scouts.

I'm a big fan of the Spark-Lite tho. Both the tinder and the sparker!
