[QUOTE="Jon3830, post: 1362882, member: 210"] the magnesium will not last as long as a flint and steel or metal match most folks do not consider other details like building a low smoke fire or even carrying tinfoil. depending on what the SHTF situation is you really don't want to be making fires you can cook a bunch of stuff in tinfoil just sitting in the sun. it's nice to have the supplies but if some doesn't know what to do once they get in the woods it is pretty much a lost battle and I am not saying you don't know what you are doing but alot of people just buy the stuff and really don't know much else. since I have met you a few times in the past and had time to sit and chat for a bit and I believe that you are the kind of guy that would take the time to learn the skills needed to make it through a bad situation. I know a few guys who like this [URL="http://southwestguidebooks.com/primitive_skills/primitive_skills.htm"]site[/URL] but I really haven't taken the time to read it all yet. [/QUOTE]
