 Don't waste your money, if you don't use them soon... August 30, 2010

I bought a pack of these last year during camping season and they worked great. I had six left over and stored them in my warm & dry basement with my hiking gear till this years season. Last weekend, less than a year later, I took them hiking with me as my primary method of starting my campfire but they would not light. I tried them all and they would not even burn. Eventhough they are light in weight, which is awesome, they were worthless. Don't plan on storing them for next season because you will be wasting your money...

This product works, but if you want something that will work easier and burn hotter look into trioxane. You can buy it at most army surplus stores. It costs slightly more at around $2 for a box of 3, but I have used them many times and all you have to do is open the package and spark it. I have a Swedish fire steel and have never had to strike it more than once to get it to light.
 Wish I had when I was a kid... June 24, 2010

Between this and the swedish fire steel, I really wish I had this stuff when I was a kid camping...
Been having rain and flooding in this area the last few days (and 5 tornados in this part of the state two nights ago) so everything outside is wet, wet, wet. So I pulled some junk from around where I was putting in new grass after landscaping (have a lot of straw laying around) and played with the fire steel and one of these, to test things out. It took me a little bit to get the best motion on the fire steel, but when I did, and used some of this to start things off, I was amazed at how well it worked.
Got it started well, and it was a consistent and hot enough blaze to quickly dry out the straw I had near it that started wet, and was able to get that going, and eventually a decent little fire, despite everything starting out wet when I first hunkered down in the back yard.
So if you're a camper or just someone who loves doing campfires, this is a great product.
I saw reviews with people talking about vaseline and cotton balls and such, but for me, my time is well worth the buck or whatever one of these costs. Its not like I'm doing 5 fires a day and it really does become a noticeable savings to make my own, so I'm more than happy paying for a product that is this good at doing what it says it does.

Same from me as the rest....these guys work great. I've used them on two hikes over the past year, one one the West Coast Trail (Vancouver Island) and in Dolly Sods, West Virginia- both very wet hikes. You can shave the cubes down for easier to start fires, or use the whole thing for difficult conditions. A+
WAY over priced for what you get. May 25, 2010

Yes, they do what they are advertised to do. However they are WAY over priced for what you get. Figure a dollar for each little bit of material. I would probably be willing to pay maybe one third of the price for the entire packet of cubes. Vaseline impregnated cotton balls will do the same - in my opinion - and cost next to nothing.
