There are quite a few paracord derived products that incorporate some sort of waxed thread that resemble a candle wick and burn like one as well. I am in the process of replacing zipper pulls, lanyards, and similar items with flammable paracord. I have ignited a few short lengths and an inch or two (zipper pull size) will give a steady flame that should ignite any decent tinder/fire starter.
I would like to see Lawson offer his strong sheath in different variations - say completely filled with jute, fishing line, trail markers, or whatever, so that you would have a decent quantity when a situation arises...
