Ultimate Survival Technologies WetFire Tinder Tube of 8 Cubes Immediately

I have used these Wetfire cubes for years on my camping and hiking trips. Unlike other must take alongs in the wilderness like a compass and emergency fire starter, (See enclosed link), there really isn't a lot of competition worth considering when it comes to these tinder cubes. One of the hardest things that a lot of first time and amateur campers will discover on their premier hike is how hard it is igniting and keeping a good camp fire going. Believe me when I tell you its not as easy as they make look in movies and TV. Most people either lack the patience it takes to get a fire going from scratch for they are using wood that's too wet or fresh, wood that's too big, or just plain poor equipment. With these tinder cubes, it really doesn't matter what else you do wrong as far as your choice of method, or the condition of your wood. These cubes that are similar in consistency to wax fire place logs, (but direr and flakier) easily ignite under any circumstances. Whether its cold, windy, or even if the cubes are soaking wet, they will easily ignite with just a spark if necessary. Their igniting ability reminds me of the old wooden "strike anywhere" matches that used to be around before we got too civilized. They had a white tip that was made of some sort of dry petroleum and sulfur that would ignite with the slightest bit of friction. The exact composition of these cubes ingredients is a trade secret, but ignite very much the same way. However they even manage it more easily and believe it or not, more efficiently and thoroughly when wet. They emit no smoke and easily cool when snuffed out.

The best way I have found to use these cubes it to flake them with a knife and then sprinkle the shavings over your kindling like grated cheese over pasta. If its a big fire you're after, or you are dealing with wet or very green wood, use a whole cube and you can just toss a match in anywhere and the whole business will ignite. With these you can easily get small twigs or kindling going nicely with very little effort. If you do a lot of camping, or are an avid hiker, I highly recommend taking these very compact and easy to tote tinder cubes along on your outdoor excursions. They could literally and easily become a true life saving device. And at the very least will guarantee you a fine cozy cooking fire for your camps pleasure. Just remember to use these cubes sparingly. A little of them goes a long way, and the shavings burn a lot longer than their size would suggest. Highly recommended...

PS: Along with these tinder's, I also suggest you spring for this fine Swedish firesteel that is a faithful and excellent spark igniter. This steel will easily make a strong spark capable of igniting hundreds of fires. I highly recommend it also...
