Have any of you tried this stuff? Does it take a spark?


I've used similar stuff (an alcohol gel) for getting smooth ignition in normal temps and for preheating my Coleman Peak1 stove when in really cold temps.

I've always considered the paste to be a supplement to my emergency fire starting tools. (though I admit it's not in my daypack)
