DIRECTIONS: Gather tinder for your fire. Shave magnesium from your fire starter onto the pile of tinder using the RIGGED side of the scraper. Hold the magnesium rod by the handle, tilted at an angle above your tinder pile, then use the included scraper to scrape along the length of the magnesium block to create small shavings. ** Note, the FIRST time you use SurvivalSPARK you will shave off the black paint on the rod, which takes about 3-4 strikes to do **. Use the part of the scraper with “teeth” to get shavings. Allow the shavings to fall directly onto the pile of tinder, and continue scraping off shavings until you have created a pile that equals the approximate size of a United States quarter. Slide your scraper forcefully along the length of the rod to create sparks. Continue to strike your blade against the flint until the sparks you have created have landed directly onto the pile of magnesium shavings and tinder, and have ignited the fire.
