Bushcraft is the wisdom of living with things that are in nature. “Fire starter” is indispensable outdoor tools when making a fire with such bushcraft. This time, I will actually start a fire using “Fire Steel Scout 2.0” of LIGHT MY FIRE, which I use regularly! If you are planning to custom your Bushcraft debut, please check it out.
“Fire Starter”, an essential fire starter item at Bushcraft Camp
The first thing you want to do when you custom your Bushcraft debut is, after all, “chimney starter”.
The item you need to start a fire is a “fire starter”.
“Fire Starter” is an item that shave a magnesium rod and scatter sparks to ignite it.
Many people who enjoy bushcraft camp use a fire starter instead of a lighter to start a fire.
The point is to ignite from tissue or newspaper and gradually ignite dead leaves and birch skin!
[My favorite item] LIGHT MY FIRE’s “Fire Steel Scout 2.0”
The fire starter I’m using is LIGHT MY FIRE’s “Fire Steel Scout 2.0”.
Fire starters are sold by various EDC brands, but I bought “Fire Steel Scout 2.0” because of its keychain-like design and ease of holding.
Fire starters come in a variety of shapes, so it’s a good idea to choose the one that suits you best when you hold it!

Actually, start a fire using “Fire Steel Scout 2.0”!
Here, I will introduce how to start a fire using “Fire Steel Scout 2.0”.
This time, we will start a fire using feather sticks, tissues, and firewood so that even beginners can easily do it. If you want to do a bushcraft camp, please refer to it.
Ignition method # 1. Custom a feather stick
This time, after igniting the tissue using “Fire Steel Scout 2.0”, transfer the fire to the feather stick, and then transfer the fire to the firewood.
The bushcraft knife I am using is Morakniv’s “Morakniv Companion MG Stainless”.
First, use a Mora knife to perform buttoning (chopping wood).
Let’s also custom feather sticks. To be honest, I’m always bad at making feather sticks (laughs). Don’t give up if it doesn’t work!

Ignition method # 2. Place magnesium shavings on the tissue.
Next, scrape the magnesium rod of “Fire Steel Scout 2.0” on the tissue and put the shavings on it.
It’s easy to hold, so you can sharpen it while holding it firmly!
Ignition method # 3. Use a striker (spatula) to disperse sparks.
If you rub the magnesium part with the attached striker (spatula), sparks will come out.
Sprinkle sparks at the shavings on the tissue!
As you get used to it, you will be able to custom big sparks.
Ignition method # 4. When the tissue is ignited, quickly transfer the fire to the feather stick.
When the tissue is ignited, let’s transfer the fire to the feather stick.
At this time, the point is to do it quickly so that the fire does not go out.
Ignition method # 5. Transfer the fire from the feather stick to the firewood.
Let’s transfer the fire to the firewood while the feather stick is burning.
Firewood that is dry is easy to transfer! On the other hand, if the firewood is not dried, the fire will not easily transfer, so be careful.
Ignition method # 6. When the fire is transferred to the firewood, increase the fire.
When the fire moves from the feather stick to the firewood, increase the fire so that it does not go out.
It’s safe to reach here!
