HAVE THIS ON HAND WHEN BOATING, CYCLING, HIKING, FISHING, TRAVELING IN COLD, WET, SNOWY WEATHER! IT MAY BE THE KEY TO SURVIVAL FOR YOU OR A LOVED ONE!
Safe, Proven FIRE STARTING DEPENDABILITY!
Guard against hypothermia and frostbite!
Signal rescuers with smoke!
Keep animals at bay!
Protect against a Lost-in-the-Wilderness tragedy!
Don't be fooled by cheap imitations or glitzy packaging- the Doan Fire Starter is the original, time-tested, military-proven way to start a fire when other methods fail!
All that you need is to follow the enclosed instructions. Use a sharp knife (not included) to scrape a pile (about the size of a quarter) of magnesium powder under a little dry tinder and with a few scrapes on the sparking rod, you have a tiny, 5400-degree inferno that will ignite your tinder- even in damp or wet conditions! You'll notice that it looks similar to many other copy-cat magnesium block firestarters sold at discount and big-box stores, but it is labeled with the Doan name and part number. This is Vitally Important because this firestarter does not lose its sparking rod!
If the ferrocerium sparking rod is lost (Darker metal at the top of the tool picture) there is no way of starting a fire!
Exhaustive testing has proven that the Doan Fire Starter will not lose its striking rod!
Made with Pride in Cleveland, Ohio- the Rock'n'Roll Capitol- USA!
This Doan Magnesium Fire Starter tool is a must for every keychain, car, cabin, ATV and boat!
Keep one handy in your:
Glove Compartment
Tackle Box
Backpack
Saddlebags
Gun Case
Tool Kit

New, Sealed, Retail Package- exactly as shown!
Also available in military pak with tearproof, waterproof instruction sheet at
Resellers, Scout Masters, Clubs - use "Ask Seller a Question" link for bulk pricing info!
SPECIAL NOTE: If you're in a pinch without a sharp knife, just use a sharp rock or piece of broken glass to shave the magnesium and to spark the igniter!
TESTIMONIALS
Dear Sir,
Last August, my Boy Scout Troop and I took a canoe trip down the White River near Whitehall, Michigan. The weather was very bad. It was raining all day and we were very cold. We had made plans to stay overnight rain or not. I knew it would be a rough go from here, due to foul weather.
My Scoutmaster told me to build a fire and I asked everyone who had matches to give them to me. All of the matches were no good except for one pack and they did not last long. At this point, all the cold eyes of my friends looked down on me. I was willing to try the two sticks method, but through constant searching, I came up with something.
Recently, I received a Magnesium Firestarter from my good friend, an outdoor writer. I had placed it in my pack prior to the trip, and felt that it was a blessing that it was there. After ten minutes a fire was going. I burned everything I could find, even my only dry shirt. About a half an hour passed and all was well. Everyone was warm.
I would like to thank you for the firestarter which protected against the threat of hypothermia and started the fire.
Thank you, Mathew Nelson, Blue Island, IL
Dear Sir,
My son and stepson went duck hunting in December. They were planning to float a creek in the afternoon with instructions to be home by 6:00pm, approximately thirty minutes after dark. However, they failed to return. The boys came out of the woods at 8am on Sunday and related their story;
They had overturned the boat shortly after dark. They were wet, cold, and not completely sure where they were. They attempted to start a fire with waterproof matches which they were unable to do. My son had a magnesium firestarter with which they were able to get a fire started and I feel enabled them to survive the 16 degree temperatures during the night.
You may use this information in endorsing your magnesium firestarters.
Sincerely, W. Robert Caviness, D.D.S.
