Fire, not as easy as it looks.
I went out tonight an tried to make a fire the first time with my magnesium fire starter. Went around and got some dried grass and twisted it up nicely, had some small tinder ready and I set to it. Well after bein out there for a half hour I figured there's always tomarrow. Behr Grills makes it look easy Haha! Practice practice..

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

Be sure to scrape enough magnesium into a flat burnable area. Then spark the pile

I did it a few times. I got my tinder pile to catch a flame twice but couldn't build it up without it going out. I'm not sure If I choked it or gave it too much air.

Save the lint from your laundry dryer filter. Those little piles catch fire quick.

Like you said "practice". I lot of things aren't quite as easy as they look and that's why its so important to actually do them.

Also start out w sticks pencil sized and bout 3" long. Once those are going good step it up a little bigger. Repeat process when its burning good.

Pine needles picked up off the ground and put in a pile make a great tinder. I am usually able to start a fire in one try with my magnesium and pine needles.
