HOW TO USE:

1 . Gather tinder (dry branches, bark, grass, pine needles, lint, paper, etc.) of the preferred size/amount.
2 . Use the serrated edge of the striker to scrape along the length of the magnesium rod to create shavings.
3 . You can either sprinkle the magnesium shavings throughout the tinder pile, or scrape the shavings into a cluster to the minimum size of a U.S. quarter coin.
4. Then hold the flint at an angle over the pile, while forcefully sliding your striker along the length of the flint to create sparks.
5. Continue to slide the striker against the flint until the sparks land directly onto the shavings pile and ignite a flame.

PLEASE NOTE:
For first-time use, stripping the protective layer of paint from the striker before starting your fire will help produce the best results.
