Ok, what's your review? The guy in the video used a flame to start it. Is it tinder or more like fuel? If it's wax impregnated with cardboard, I'm guessing it won't start too easily from a spark. In contrast, wax impregnated with a cotton ball starts easily from a spark.

They start easily with any flame and burn for quite some time. An easy way to get a fire started.


Its really a combination of tinder and kindling. Easy to start with just about any flame.

To me it is a far better choice for emergency fire starting than trying to get something started with a fire steel and home made or found tinder if you are cold and wet.

I did not try shaving bits off of it to try and start it with a fire steel.

Any match or lighter starts it right up.
