Making fire Doan
The Doan Magnesium Firestarter was invented by our company founder Mr.Sol Levenson in 1973. As an avid outdoorsman, Sol saw the need for a reliable, durable and easy-to-use firestarter while on a business trip in South America with his friend Rocky Marciano, the legendary heavyweight boxing champion. The Doan Magnesium Firestarter was soon adopted by the US Armed Forces. Sol would always proudly state that our tool was standard issue in the survival pack of F16 fighter pilots.

Flints
The very idea of flint, i.e. flinting with suitable materials against itself, is nothing new. The principle has remained the same for centuries, the idea being to scrape one material against another and get a spark that ignites the prepared material. But in recent decades, innovative flints made from modern materials have appeared on the market.
KINDLING
Kindling works on the simple principle of using a highly flammable material to ignite the rest of our wood. Birch bark would be a great example of good natural kindling. You can find both a combined magnesium flint fire starter and separate solid fire starters in our offer.
MATCHES
Ordinary matches can be found in almost any shop. However, in Armed you can find special military matches that are waterproof, so they are also suitable for wet environments. We also offer wind-resistant matches, which are characterized by a larger combustible surface and therefore better resist being blown by the wind.
LIGHTERS
Every smoker carries at least one lighter. If you are not a smoker but you like trips outdoors, you should also have a lighter just in case. It's a useful tool for starting a fire. You will certainly choose a good lighter from our offer. We offer both cool chrome Zippo petrol lighters and outdoor gas lighters highly resistant to wind.
