Light My Fire Swedish FireSteel

The Swedish FireSteel BIO scout 2in1 is a magnesium fire starter. It can create fires even in wet and windy situations. It’s useful for barbecues, campfires, gas stoves and more.

It is used by all kinds of people, including scouts, campers and even the military. As a bonus, it has a built-in emergency whistle.

What is the FireSteel made of? The striker is stainless steel. The handles are bio-plastic. The cord is nylon. The rod is composed of a magnesium, iron, lanthanum and cerium alloy. The addition of magnesium sets it apart from standard ferro rods.

This Swedish FireSteel is designed to be super durable. It can reliably create up to three thousand fires. It is pocket-sized, making it ideal for travel. It’s also made to be easy to grip, so you won’t drop it.

You might be surprised to learn the FireSteel was created by the Swedish Department of Defense. It was the first magnesium alloy fire starter.

Since it was developed in Sweden, it was created to function well at the high altitudes and low, freezing temperatures that can be found there.

There are five steps to building a fire using your Swedish FireSteel.

1. Collect sticks and bark.
2. Arrange them into a pile.
3. Light some paper or other tinder near the sticks by striking sparks from the FireSteel.
4. Slowly build up the fire with more sticks.

One major advantage the Swedish FireSteel has over conventional fire starters is it is purely mechanical. In other words, there are no batteries that can die. There is no fuel that can run out. All you have to do is strike.

This makes it ideal for survival situations. It also makes the FireSteel more sustainable and eco-friendly than matches and lighters.
