You know....

I can't remember when the last time was I heard someone mention fuzz sticks here. I used them when I can to save on better tinder/kindling, but yeah. That's odd.

I agree! I started making them when I was in the Boy Scouts. When I became an assistant Scoutmaster, I used to teach scouts to use them as they applied the kindling. Usually, beginners want to move too quickly from tinder to log. Fuzzsticks for kindling helped the transistion.

Maybe we are just so used to it, we don't think about it. Probably not a good sign.
