Outdoor survival Flint Knowledge:
When it comes to taking the fire, we first feel the reaction must feel 'with a disposable lighter soon enough, why so hard .But do not forget, outdoor sports, especially in bad weather conditions, wind, rain enough to let the lighter , The match fails. At this point, the most reliable fire tool is the most primitive 'flint', that is, we want to introduce the outdoor living flint.With the natural flint is mainly composed of silicon dioxide is different, Of the outdoor survival Flint is a manual preparation of magnesium alloy, rare earth metal derivatives, it also has better performance - with the knife, saw fast friction can drop a large number of thousands of degrees of metal shavings, and then quickly Ignition of hay, dead leaves, wood chips and other natural ignition.
When talking about outdoor living flint, it is often easy to confuse with the magnesium block, magnesium rods, which may be affected by the US military equipment, magnesium block.In fact, the main component of American-style ignition magnesium is magnesium, magnesium can only play The role of combustion in the American side of the same block of magnesium block flint, the use of the need to cut some of the first magnesium chip, and then flint ignited the outdoor flint, magnesium accounted for only a small proportion, not only with the American magnesium Block, like the first scraped metal scrap and then ignited, but also by the rapid scratch, direct ignition of the ignition.

step one:

The magnesium rod to withstand the bottom edge of the ground, with the blade on the bar scraped some Xu magnesium shavings, it should be noted that in scraping magnesium shavings, the blade should be perpendicular to the magnesium rod, and then scraped magnesium chips integrated A small stack near the flammable material next to the (paper leaves bark and so on)

Step two: the side of the magnesium rod to withstand the ground was about 45 degrees from the scraped magnesium chips just about 2.5 cm, with the blade quickly scrape in order to effectively scratch the Mars, the blade with the scratch surface Vertical direction, so that can lead to Mars, while the magnesium shavings burning, to provide you with a white flame

Just started unskilled, it will not be easy to use, as the use of matches different people have different ways of friction, the use of flint is not absolutely standard way of ignition, try many times we can find their own use skills! Emphasize two points: 1. selected good fire (to spark directly to the branches of the ignition is clearly not a wise move); 2. When the fire will play flint as close to the fire velvet to reduce the spark in the fire before falling down in the air stay time (Direct hit on the best cashmere).

Shop for outdoor survival special Flint has a very special feature, you directly take the lighter to burn it, it will not spontaneous combustion, but according to a specific method to ignite flint; if the flint lost in the water, and then It will be picked up and dried, the same can be used.

You can be confirmed by a simple test, the first pieces of magnesium scraping scraping Of the powder, into a copper bowl, and then thrown into the ring, you will find the magnesium powder produced by the instantaneous temperature and even the gold ring will melt, we can see that its combustion temperature is quite high, but its spontaneous ignition point But very low.

7-metal magnesium alloy; up to 12,000 counts; can produce up to 3000 degrees Celsius (5500 degrees Fahrenheit) of the spark; produce bright sparks - can be used as an emergency signal; in the rain and snow weather normal use
