Another option instead of carrying magnesium dust around is to break off a 4" (or so) length of hacksaw blade, wrap some tape around the end without the hole in it, and put the ball chain from the magblock through the hole in the blade. Then when you go to use it, you can use the toothy edge to scrape off as much magnesium as you want, then use the back side of the blade to scrape the flint. Or, if you want a LOT of sparks, you can use the toothy side for sparking... but it wears the flint out faster.
