Doan Magnesium Lights Tire Rubber

Description

One of the advantages of the Doan over all the spark rods is that you can vary the heat energy by scraping more or less magnesium as needed for the task. A marble size pile will start hard tire rubber. See the Doan and the Doan in our Fire Starter Kit. http://wildernessinnovation.com
