I have MANY small bags (approx 2X2) of magnesium curls from a machining process.
You'll probably rarely use these, so just store away for a packing trip, or emergency. Keep them in your bug out bag, glove compartment, or cabin or emergency preparedness area.
How is this different from the magnesium block?
Well, it's just all shaved for you and ready to go. Burns brightly and hot.I know that when you're cold and want heat or a fire and your fingers are numb, you'd appreciate shavings already made.
Anyway, just sprinkle onto a cotton ball or tinder. Grind into a finer powder if you wish. Many available.
