   When you need fire, you need fire. I take long distance hiking and camping trips and rely only on what I can bring with me and one thing that is necessary is making fire. So my kit has many items for starting a fire, no kit should just rely on one item in one place. In one pocket I have my ferro rod, in one tin I have cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly and my 3rd and final tin I have steel wool and 1 of these stakes cut in half. Once these start burning they don’t stop. I’ve used them to start fires all the time, and they were the only thing used on kindling sticks and it was unnecessary to collect a tinder pile because these burn so long they catch the kindling sticks. One other thing I tried was to shave it down into little filings like saw dust type or like trying to imitate a feather stick. I scrapped a bunch off and collected a nice little pile on a piece of bark. It took once spark from my ferro rod and started right into flame. This flame was for sure enough to start a tinder bundle like a bird nest or something else. Also was surprised how long these little slivers stayed flaming. This is a very good item, so good that I let them take up space in my pack where I’m looking to travel with the minimum amount of gear and I could put something else in their place that I know is bulletproof. I would consider these as good as cotton balls with petroleum jelly. *Update I just used these again last night to start a fire and these are truly legit. I took one half of one stick and shaved the filings into a pile. I used about 1/8 of a stick turned into a shavings pile, then one spark of the ferro rod and immediate flame. Then I used the rest of the half stick and lit it with the shavings pile to get my kindling going. I love this stuff. It’s so easy to carry, it’s dry, not like petroleum jelly soaked cotton balls and it can be used as tinder and/or kindling.

   I would not think of going on a hike, hunting trip, camping trip, or any like activity without a few of these fire starter sticks in my survival kit. There have been several instances where these were the only dry tender available to even start a fire. I always keep a good supply on hand. They have even come in handy to help other campers with their fires. For me these are an absolute necessity to have on hand.

   I use these cut into 8 pieces and only need one piece to assist in starting my pellet stove. The piece lasts just long enough to
   start the pellets burning. I would recommend these as a great fire starter and have used them for several years.
