Good To Have Compact Backup Firestarter

I use this as a backup in case my matches get lost or wet. It took a little getting used to, but I think I have it figured out now. Good compact size and good value for the price.

Fairly Easy To Use Fire Starter, Even For Youth

Used for learning how to start camp fires with my seven year old son at home. Took dozens of attempts to finally start a fire but the lessons are priceless! Good value.

Great Rudimentary Starter

I wanted a simple, rudimentary starter to carry as a back up for camping and this is fantastic!

Works Good

Love that it is magnesium holding the flint. I recommend using the blunt side of a thick knife to flake off the magnesium, then use the striker on the flint

They Just Work

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fire sticks are great for backpacking. One stick never fails to light or start a fire. They don't have any chemical smell or film on them so they don't have to be individually wrapped.

Simply Works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I learned my lesson after a soggy camping trip, and saw these in the store. Used them on another soggy trip and they worked like a charm. ALWAYS have a pack of these in your camping arsenal, they make fire-starting a breeze!

Fire Sticks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these fire sticks recently and they are awesome! I was surprised and how quickly they really get the fire going. I will be going back to get more this weekend.

Works Very Well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fire sticks work very well. I used 1 to start my fire and didn’t need any lighter fluid. High marks for this convenient, clean, unscented product.

Great Fire Starter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I kinda hate packing this for backpacking trips cuz I feel like I should be experienced enough to start a fire without them, but I can’t deny the fact that when I do use them the process is so much easier.

Takes Some Elbow Grease

Purchased as a fun item for our boy scouts to practice and train with. Takes a bit of elbow grease, but is a fun way to start a fire.
