Dual Action Fire Starter - Lifesystems

The Lifesystems Dual Action Fire Starter is designed for approximately 8,000 strikes. The lifespan depends on frequency of use.

Dry, fibrous tinder works best. Examples include cotton balls coated in petroleum jelly, dry leaves, and commercially available tinder.

Use the edge of the ferrocerium rod (or a knife) to scrape off shavings from the magnesium rod.

Yes, but it's best to protect the tinder from getting wet. The high-temperature sparks will ignite the tinder, even when damp, but the tinder itself needs to be relatively dry.

Wipe the rods and body with a dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.

This fire starter contains a sharp striker and produces high-temperature sparks. It should be kept out of the reach of children and used with adult supervision.

The dimensions are compact due to its folding design, making it easy to carry. (Specific dimensions not provided in the product description)

The attachment loop is designed for attaching the fire starter to a keychain or lanyard, making it easy to carry.

Ensure the ferrocerium rod is being struck properly with the integrated striker at the correct angle. Replace the striker if worn.

Ensure the magnesium shavings are fine and the tinder is dry and ready to catch fire. Also, check the ferrocerium rod for any signs of wear.

Shield the tinder from the wind while creating sparks. Use a small natural windbreak.
