Thomas Sciacca, president of CampingSurvival.com, demonstrates the ease-of-use of the Aurora Magnesium Fire Starter. This new fire starter is the ultimate fire starting tool. Rather than just throwing sparks at your tinder or fire bed, with this new Aurora magnesium fire starter you have a high concentration of magnesium built right in to the rod of ferroceium rod itself. Its like other fire starters on steroids.

Check out CampingSurvival.com's first attempt at an online video. More fire starting and other survival videos from CampingSurvival.com coming soon.

  • couldn't you have used a harder tinder? (fish in a barrel) Dry cotton is just too easy and doesn't show that your tool is better than any other ferrocereum rod.

  • Good point. Again, my first video. Had no idea about how it would turn out and how it would look etc. Maybe burdock for the next one.

  • The cheaper $8 mag starter only takes a few seconds more and is just is successful at lighting. The fact that this one is O-ring sealed to prevent saltwater damage is kind of silly because you're not going to be lighting fires at sea, so saltwater protect is of little importance.

  • Yes, there is a wide variety of prices on fire starters. We sell some that are a buck or two. There are thousands of these in use by the military and they find the o-ring very important such as the Navy Seals.

  • you're a douche bag, this guy rocks!! He did a great job at demonstrating the fire starter!

  • The video is fine. I don't think you were "trying too hard", your just showing your merch. Good stuff. (Although next time, try and zoom into the product itself a bit more)

  • @dayingyang0 What if your near the ocean with this in your pocket and fall in?

  • Nice job Tom..

    This is a fine looking firestarter.. I would love to have a few of them.. It's important to have gear that you KNOW will perform on demand. I have used some firestarters that you couldn't depend on.. they were more hit & miss. Bad thing in a crisis situation!

  • It's great - I didn't mind the cotton wool - the idea it got across is that it can indeed start a fire.

  • It's actually ferrocerium rod, not ferrocium.

  • People start fire's all the time on the beach. That has tons of salt water.

  • This thing is my new favorite toy. It's awesome. Has anyone tried the one with the flare launcher on it?

  • I just picked one up at the local Army and Navy store. I must say it is built very well,worth every cent. I noticed that you have to scrape down a little for it to work good. After I scraped a layer off it works like a charm. Also this is very light weight for something built so good. Pick one up you will be pleased.
