S.O.L Survive Outdoors Longer Tinder-Quik Fire Starter Tinder Pack

This item works as promised, even when soaking wet. I use them with my ferro rod and have always had sure fire in just about any weather condition. They are a little expensive as compared to the orig 4 seasons survival Spark Lite / Tinder Quick, but, they will save your butt in a bad situation. I keep two in each of my survival kits, with my bushcraft knife and in my pocket. I never leave the house w/o a way to cut (usually a SAK Farmers Knife) and a way to make fire (Tinder quick and fewrro rod).

I use a light-my fire swedish fire steel scout with these little gems and could not be more happy with the results. just a few sparks and these babies light right up without any coaxing. They really do burn for about 2 minutes or can be cut half to make them last longer in a pinch. All you have to do is fray one end to expose the individual fibers and one spark later you have fire!

This is a great little tinder. Probably some type of cotton coated with a wax accelerant. If you Frey the ends it will catch a spark quite nicely and burn for about 2 mins. The package says it's waterproof, but I hesitate to say that. If soaked in water, then lit it will not catch a spark. You can pull it apart and hope the inner core is still somewhat dry. In this case, it would catch a spark. Or, if you let it dry for a while, it would probably catch a spark. Overall, not bad tinder.

great for edc but needs a small container to add to bob

I think that this tinder fills a void for good compact tinder. If you have a little more room then vasaline cotton balls are the way to go .In a small tin these are flat enough and take a spark well. I would recomend carrying them even if you do have the cotton balls because they are small enough and cheap enough for there to be no down side.

It's a must have in any pack, EDC, or other need of travel. Small but effective is the key to this product and durability through time to perform regardless of weather condition. Most important aspect of any product, including this, is to know how to properly use it. I would highly recommend this to anyone whether an adventure or a daily commuter. It serves a purpose for many expected/unexpected conditions.

Very light and extremely easy to light with a Spark-Lite or ferrocerium rod. They don't burn as long as Wetfire tinder, a petroleum-jelly infused cotton ball, or a rubber band, but the are probably the easiest to carry, apportion for multiple fires, and get lit. The take up no space and weigh nothing. Don't leave home without them!

These work great. I usually make my own tinder from cotton balls or jute twine, with petroleum jelly or wax added, but sometimes I like to add something new to my pack. These were a little expensive for what you get, considering that I can make my own tinder for about a nickel each. Anyway, these work, and if you don't mind the cost, just buy a couple of packs and throw them in your bug out bag.
