Non-Toxic Waterproof Fire Starters with 5+ Minute Burn for Emergencies, Survival, Campfires, Fire Pits, Grills - Made in The USA - 200 Pack

They work good. Use them for everything.

This is perhaps the best fire starter medium I have ever used. I was able to light it using a ferrocerium rod and striker. I had cut a plug in half before testing and it burned hot and consistently for just over 3 minutes.I wanted to test if it would actually work when wet so I soaked the other half of the plug in water for over an hour. It floated the entire time ( a nice bonus if you were to drop it into a lake or stream). It was very wet when i took it out of the water so I fluffed it out exposing some of the individual strands. Using the ferrocerium rod I tried multiply time to ignite the plug. It would spark and try to start but quickly sputter out. I fluffed it open just a bit more and tried again and it immediately ignited and started burring. This half also lasted 3 minutes. So the trick is to make sure you really fluff up the plug, especially when it is wet.The plugs smell nice with a faint almost sweet scent and come in a sturdy resealable pouch. I have put several of the plugs in each of my fire starting kits and can heartily recommend this product. (Full disclosure. I cannot verify the claims of nontoxicity as I did not actually consume any plugs)

Finally went backpacking to test them. After reading the instructions about loosening the fibers, I used 2, so a total of 4 halves, to start the fire and it worked great. I put them into kindling I had built which was a little awkward to light due to my fire starting stick, next time I'll light them then drop them into the kindling.I'd recommend them, they are light weight & burn well.

I’ll be honest I’ve never started a camp fire by myself but these make it so easy! I love that I was able to twist it open and light it on fire right away. I also love that they come in a sealed bag which made it easy to add my camp kitchen bin without taking up too much space in my bin. Also can confirm they are waterproof, I accidentally dropped one in my bucket of water and was still able to use it with no problem!

Took these on a fishing trip to Alaska. Normally where we go we would be supplied wood, but lo and behold, our dry cabin was wood free, causing us to have to forage for wood in a rain forest in May. After processing everything we found, these plugs made getting a fire started very simple - light 1 or 2 at the base of some kindling and shavings, once those got going, we were good to go. Will be buying more for future trips.

My husband wanted this for his hunting pack. He did give one a try and it does what it’s supposed too. Works great

bought for survival gear and emergencies, great quality and durable.

I love these fire starters! They smell like watermelon candies, which can be a positive or negative depending on whether you want your hands to smell like candy.The reason I love them isn't the smell (I actually don't like the smell), it is because they take a spark from a ferrocerium rod very easily and burn for about 5 minutes.I have these and the Procamptek Fire Plugs and I am not sure which I like better. These are pink, watermelon scented fire plugs that last 5 minutes and the Procamptek plugs look like cigarette butts without any discernable scent and I have had them burn for 6 minutes.I have dunked them both in water and both lit afterwards, as long as they were dunked BEFORE I broke them apart Either one is great for starting a fire in an emergency.
