I got some a while back to test out. They work fine, but they require a little prep work. As in, you have to pull it apart a bit to expose the cotton fibers.


Personally, I'm still a huge fan of Cotton/Vaseline tinder. You can buy big bags of raw ginned cotton for pretty cheap, you throw a little Vaseline in, kneed it up, and you're set for a long time.

The trick is not to use too much Vaseline. If you use too much you end up with a slimy mess that is difficult to light.
