Does anyone know, can you start this fire paste stuff with a firesteel? If so, it sounds like a great pair to carry along on canoe trips or in wet weather. I always carry a BIC lighter for the "easy" fires (no wind, not terribly cold, etc.) But I like the idea of something that will be easy to use in the worst of conditions. Micro size and ultra lightweight are not concerns of mine. I'm really only a dayhiker these days and I don't mind a few extra ounces if that gives me a significant survival edge. I am not one of those "you can split a match into four useable pieces" kind of guy. You're more likely to find me carrying multiple match safes choke full of tons of matches. And a BIC. And a firesteel. And a small fresnal lens. I want that "survival edge" and having all these things might just supply that edge. These are not heavy items. I hadn't thought about the fire paste though. That sounds like it might be a good addition.
