Light My Fire Mayadust - Snuff Box Packaging

I bought this along with other things to put together a basic survival kit. I was expecting more, especially since the description used the word "tin" for what the Mayadust is contained in. The container is plastic and I could see it easily "popping" open inside my backpack with the moving around/etc activities. I'm actually thinking of putting it inside a plastic baggy or a rubber band around it just in case. Haven't actually used it yet so I can't say much on that part. In the end, I think i'd rather use a small METAL tin of some sort and use pencil shaving/cotton balls/etc as a firestarting base then buying this again. Nice novelty item essentially.

Not really worth it at all! I wasted 1/4 of a Swedish Firesteel trying to get some of it to burn. And that was in perfect conditions in my garage at home. Cotton balls work better, and they're A LOT cheaper! I will never purchase it again.

This looked perfect for my daypack emergency kit. I actually bought this for the little snuff box, (who's gonna pay $4 for wood shavings?), turns out it holds only 1 oz. and it's PLASTIC! Under GOOD conditions that amount might start 2-3 fires. Had it been metal, adding an O-ring would keep it's contents dry. I could've got the sticks & made much more for same price!

burns hot and long, but it takes a lot and is not easily lit, also its very expensive considering how small the tins are

great for camping! when accompanied with the fire steel it works wonders, no need to ever be worried about getting caught in a sticky situation anymore, you are promised warmth with this product.
