Quick and easy!

Fiber Light is slick! It ignites so easy. I use it to light my charcoal grill. Ignite it with my Outdoor Element Scout Feather, scoop it with the knife into the grill, set the chimney of charcoal on top. No problem lighting it on a windy wet day out in the wild. Starting fires is fun, but while camping you want to start the fire and move on. Fiber Light ignites so fast, and stays lit long enough to ignite the rest of your kindling. If you have an OE knife or Firebiner, you should grab a few of these. These also make great gifts. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, hikers, campers. OE gear really adds to the fun of outdoors.

Best Fire Tinder

This is an excellent fire starter. Lights with a single spark. Burns for a long time. Enough to get a properly laid fire going. Doesn't take much, so the bag lasts a long time. Easy to pack and very lightweight. Definitely my go to fire starter for all of my outdoor fires. Outdoor element has great gear and is an excellent company. Very responsive to all inquiries.

Best Fire Starter I've ever found

Very light weight, easy to pack and carry, wonderful on wet or snowy days , lights fast with sparks and even faster with a match. I use it with my wood stove at home as well as the camp fire on the trail, it stays dry even when the tin is open . a small amount is enough get the fire going. really like it.

Lites Easy

Got this as an experiment. Lites really well with one spark, better than other fire starters I've gotten in the past.
