Tinder-Quik (1 packet)

Thank you, Store-Who-Shipped-This-Product-Out, because you sent me 20 tinder-quiks for the price of 10 (that was un-expected, and I really appreciate it.) As far as the quality, I'm sure that this product will light afire very well, and I think that it looks like a good idea for my survival/camping equipment. I look forward to seeing these in action, and I'm sure that they will be well worth my money. By the way, the package arrived 4 days too early. Are you people gods or something? You kick the majorest of "arse".

This is a really nice product. These things light easily and stay lit a good long while (2-3 min). They also seem less messy than homemade cotton wool + Vaseline fire starters. I've heard some folks have used magnesium shavings inside the homemade style and then dipped all but a "wick" in paraffin to keep the mess down and add more fuel to the mix. I haven't tried that yet, but the Equipped to Survive organization has some more details on their site.

They are reasonably priced, but the shipping is the killer. So if you can't pick these up at the local sporting goods store, get it only with several other items or in bulk to cut down on the shipping cost per unit ratio.
