Tinder of choice for survival camping | |
| Rating: | |
| I use a circular breath-mint or chewing tabacco can, roll up a wire-based survival saw, put in a flint & steel or magnesium & flint, and then add a pack of these wax-based tinders. Just used a tinder from a kit I made for New Zealand 7 years ago; no problem. Take the ends of the tinder, squeeze together with a twisting motion, then slowly pull apart into 2 pieces and put them together side-by-side with the fuzzy sides pointing up -- the cotton-based fuzz will catch a spark easily (I used to scrape magnesium filings on to the top, but this isn't needed at all; apparently I just liked to dull my knife so I could watch magnesium ignite). Block any wind or heavy drooling once the the tinder lights. While kayaking & canoeing, I've dumped in rough waters more than I should (soaking everything), and once to shore, I've always been able to break up branches and ground scraps and quickly start a fire in minutes with these tinders -- then sit there and hope I'll never need to take out the saw and expect to actually cut wood or use it as a snare... | |

| very very handy things to have around when your 4runner breaks down in the mountains of N. cal, your cell dont work and the $400 locator you just bought gets no reception. (true story) always keep a grizzly chew can full of them tied to flint and steel in the daypack. probably saved me from frostbite after deserting my truck and walking the 4 days out of the mountains in mid november. any true outdoorsman should keep at least 20 of them available at all times | |

Great Product | |

| I don't get myself into survival situations often but I do try to practice with the product that could save my life. The time I tried this stuff it lit right up after a couple sparks with a flint. It is a tad tough to pull apart but once you get the fibers sticking up it won't fail. I always thought of Coghlan's as a "low-end" brand but this stuff is excellent. | |

the best fire tinder in the world | |
| Rating: | |
| I don't use matches anymore for backpacking and camping. I take the Light My Fire Scout fire starter and the Cohglan's emergency tinder on every wilderness adventure, whether I am planning to build a fire or light a stove. The Cohglan's tinder works great, in cold, in rain, whatever the weather. Every wilderness traveller should have a flint/steel fire starter and Cohglan's tinder with them on every outing. | |

GREAT | |

| This stuff is great. It works extremely well in the winter because it stays lit for a long time and lights easily. The only thing is that on the box it says to cut them in half and light them, but it is a little hard to cut them. Other than that, I love it. | |

Easy to Light | |

| I tear these in two and expose fibers. These fibers take a spark readily from a firesteel. These burn for me about 7-9 minutes, more than long enough for me to get a fire going. I store about 4 of them in an orange waterproof matchbox. | |

Works great even for first-timer | |

| I have never started a fire with only a flint steel and after trying and failing with several other things this one started on the first-time and stays lit for at least ten minutes - I would definitely keep this around in the future! | |

Surprisingly great! | |
| Rating: | |
| With every flint I've used this stuff starts the first time every time. I was surprised with how effective they are. You can even blow them out, pack them together again and use later. They work just as well multiple times later! | |

| I have used these to start many fires, but if you are to use them in the wind, block it. | |
