Review: Wish I had when I was a kid... - Between this and the swedish fire steel, I really wish I had this stuff when I was a kid camping... Been having rain and flooding in this area the last few days (and 5 tornados in this part of the state two nights ago) so everything outside is wet, wet, wet. So I pulled some junk from around where I was putting in new grass after landscaping (have a lot of straw laying around) and played with the fire steel and one of these, to test things out. It took me a little bit to get the best motion on the fire steel, but when I did, and used some of this to start things off, I was amazed at how well it worked. Got it started well, and it was a consistent and hot enough blaze to quickly dry out the straw I had near it that started wet, and was able to get that going, and eventually a decent little fire, despite everything starting out wet when I first hunkered down in the back yard. So if you're a camper or just someone who loves doing campfires, this is a great product. I saw reviews with people talking about vaseline and cotton balls and such, but for me, my time is well worth the buck or whatever one of these costs. Its not like I'm doing 5 fires a day and it really does become a noticeable savings to make my own, so I'm more than happy paying for a product that is this good at doing what it says it does.
Review: Impressive - My wife bought these the first time and I griped and said it was stupid and unnecessary. That said I have never not been able to get a fire going even in the rain. But man oh man these things let me be lazy and always work first time. Plus I use them backpacking and they are super lite! I admit it. I would spend 5-10 min and brake up the twigs getting the perfect kindling and staging based on size to nurse a hard to light fire. Sometimes even having to use my knife and shave wood to get dry prices to start with. But this stuff is so easy and fool proof I seriously can just lump a bunch of sticks in a pile light this unde them and walk away. It's truly taken any skill necessary to light a fire and tossed gas on it. Lol. I'm hooked it's to easy and cheap not to use them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect product
*by A***O on May 16, 2010*

This is one of those items that you really learn to love. My area of the country tends to be a little on the wet side and sometimes firestarting can be a little tedious, we pretty much get a 40-60 percent chance of rain along with every summer day. These things work everytime and they burn for quite a while. I have not actually timed them but they burn for long enough to get wet tinder going and thats all i care about. My only complaint is that for what they are they seem a little pricey, but i get over it. They are NOT wind proof. the pieces are so light weight that they tend to blow everywhere with the slightest breeze, but with the proper prep this is not an issue. They are however completely waterproof, and will burn floating in a cup of water.....I tried, it works. Great product.
