      Comments about Ultimate Survival Technologies WetFire Tinder - Package of 8:

      They burn long and hot enough to start a fire in difficult circumstances. They are also very light.

      They are brittle and are easily crumbled and crushed. This hasn't really caused a problem but you might want to pack them with care.

        Comments about Ultimate Survival Technologies WetFire Tinder - Package of 8:

        these things rock. they make it so easy it feels like you're cheating. if you can't get a fire going with the wetfires, then you probably shouldn't be in the woods.

        just shaving off a bit of a cube gets a good fire going in nearly every situation.

        i've actually lit wet kindling with these fire starters - crackles the moisture right out of the wood.

        they kind of smell like lighter fluid, but the packaging says they're non-toxic and the smell isn't overwhelming or anything.

          I use it to light camp fires. All i do is shave off a little bit(very easy) and light it and you got a fire. As simple as it gets.

            No other fire starter even comes close to this stuff. It's like night and day to ANYTHING else. I've started fire with this and a pile of mostly wet wood before. It works. Period.

              I used this product in the backcountry of Rocky Mountain National Park. It lit right away and remained burning to allow us to create decent fire. I will be taking this with me on all of my backpacking adventures.

                This material works just like advertised. It is the perfect accompaniment to your BlastMatch for your survival kit. I had both in my fannypack on a paddle down the Yukon River. A little goes a long way and it appears to be foolproof. Don't leave camp without it.
