To All: I grew up in western Washington. It rains just about everywhere Ive ever been. I like the mag block because I've lit wet tinder with one where I dont think anything else will light. I like the idea that I dont have to carry any other kind of tinder for just in case. I just grab some grass and some pine needles and I got a nice fire going. Dont matter what the conditions.

Thats my story, and I'm sticking to it.
