Title: Re: Emergency Fire Accelerants
Post by mastertangler on Dec 11th, 2010 at 8:55pm
Wetfire tinder came today. I ran it under some water and took a fire striker to it. I couldn't get it to light until I crumbled a small chunk of it into powder and it took off first strike.

This stuff is nothing short of amazing. It burnt very hot with a decent sized flame for a 1" cube. I was outside and it was somewhat windy (10 to 15mph) and it didn't go out. I was also surprised at how long the little cube burnt. I didn't time it but I would say it was close to 5 minutes. Certainly long enough to dry even wet tinder.

It is very light and would be perfect in a ditch kit. insta flame! [smiley=thumbup.gif]
