Nice fire starting product, compact and easy to use, effective

It works as it should, with impressive burn time.

I tested this two steps rate ways. 1st was cut open and unrolled. This was super easy to catch a spark (first strike) and burnt with a larger flame. Total burn time like this was 3 min exactly. 2nd way was just fluffing open one end. This was much harder to land a spark in, but didn’t take too many times. This way burned with a smaller flame, but total burn time was 8min 45 sec.I’ll most likely do a hybrid of these two methods. But you really can’t go wrong with these. More expensive than cotton balls and vasoline, but was cleaner, easier to use and burns longer.

Works pretty much as advertised. Used them in the rain and snow with a magnesium fire starter. Instead of using 1 or 2, you might need 3 or 4 per fire, unless your fuel is dry then less will do. I will buy more.

nice and small and light weight to keep in pack. they light very easily. i use my ferrule rod and they usually light on the first spark. they burn hot and long. good product.

Gave these as a gift and highly recommend!

I had my doubts when ordering these, I have had other products that did not work. When I received these I took one and followed directions that say to break in half and light the fluffy end. I used a ferro rod and tried to light it. After a few strikes from the ferro rod I had a flame that was a little bigger than a Zippo lighter and lasted about 5 minutes. If I would have had kindling and firewood I could have had a nice fire. These work very well.

I use these with rod and striker and they light up every time. Have done it in damp areas and snowy areas and burns great. They don’t last as long regarding burn as my sawdust cups but the weight is almost non existent in my hiking ruck.
