I've just been looking through their online catalog. Quite interesting. Some of thier tinders seem to have possibliities. Particularly in a rucksack sized BOB. Has anyone used their stuff? What do do think of it? Pro's and Con's please.

Do you mean their emergency tinder?

Great stuff. I use it for all my survival kits. Waterproof, easy to light.
Cons: smaller than tinder-quicks and if you put them in a PSK without a zip-lock it will make a mess of your kit.

Some of their products are good and they come out with some ideas but on the whole they make many copies of better quality original gear. For exemple the ferrocerium rod on their magnesium bar is badly glued. You have to change the O-ring on their mach safe because it's not water tight. I much prefer to buy originals and when I visit the camping aisle in a store it's not uncommon to see a whole aisle with only Coghlan's gear in their ugly red and green package and it makes me feel I'm in a Soviet Union country.

I found the tinder sticks made by Coughlan to fall apart easily also. I pay a little more for them, but similar ones made by Coleman don't break as easily. They come in a robust ziplock bag, but I cut them to size to put them into a real small tin to keep them from breaking and making a mess in my BOB. They flame up excellently, and one cut about twice the size of a bullion cube will burn for about 5 minutes.

I'm still looking for the perfect homemade tinder. I guess from what I've been doing making different tinder might make somebody think I'm a pyromaniac.

Thank you all for the infomation. Trying out different tinders is, I think, a worthwhile exercise. Our ancestors would have been able to tell you exactly which tinders are the best. Trying to light a fire using a carbon steel striker, a piece of flint and some char cloth can concentrate your attention wonderfully.

I don't know about their tinder sticks, but their emergency tender is great... And if you can find it with their flint and steel, it is even better, because their flint and steel is nothing of the sort, it is actually a permanent match, though whoever wrote the directions had no idea what it was...
Just put a little lighter fluid in the thing and you are good to go for at least 6 months... It has a real gasket, unlike a Zippo, so the fluid does not evaporate much at all...
