used correctly, works every time.
Ive been using these for a few months, never failed to catch a spark from my ferro rod .. works just fine if you have a decent tinder bundle to set it in you are good to go .. check out 'The Green Bearded Green Beret' or 'Corporals Corner' on YouTube for what to gather for a tinder bundle and how to fashion it. . these tabs alone are not meant to directly set your kindling on fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only tinder I bother to pack
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

I've done all the tricks, they all work but have drawbacks. This is simple, high surface area, and lights quickly with appropriate heat. Note: for cooler spark of actual flint with steel you'll still want charcloth to catch that spark. Would likely be difficult, as usual, but probably would ignite given the patience. Plenty in the bag to practice but you can always get a larger pack they add no weight and can take as many as you wish

This tinder is my "go to" tinder. It is a small, waxed-cotton type that is dependable. This tinder lasts about 2 minutes, at most, once it is lit. While I use another, similar, longer-lasting, brand for extended outings this is my main pack-in tinder for bush craft and camping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes a spark from a ferro rod easily
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023
Verified Purchase
Slick little flame extenders. They take a spark from a ferro rod well so long as you pull the fibers apart and make a little nest before attempting to light it. It's the sort of thing that could make the difference between having a fire and not when conditions are not ideal. I keep a few in my backpack and in my emergency 10-essentials dayhike kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great emergency tinder source
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2022
Verified Purchase
These work brilliantly as an emergency tinder source. Just fluff up one end and hit it with sparks from a ferro rod, or a quick touch of flame from a lighter, and the TenderQuik ignites and burns for a good long time (2 minutes or so). Much less messy and easier to store/carry than the old cotton ball with petroleum jelly trick, and works as well if not better. I put some into cut pieces of plastic straw which get the ends melted to seal, makes them easy to organize and carry in a kit (I did the same with the cotton balls but needed larger diameter straws).

I buy the small bulk packs of these to keep in multiple go bags, EDC pouch and in the cars. I'll typically vacuum pack these into small units for ease of storage and to ensure they stay moisture free. These fit into the smallest of places to ensure they are always readily available for use when needed. I have used them to get small warming fires in my hunting blind to starting larger camp fires. They burn long enough to get our fire going. Great product and will buy again.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD price for 50 tabs!! Recommended by Grey-bearded Green Beret - works with ferro rod or matches.
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020
Verified Purchase
The Grey-bearded Green Beret is a bushcrafter on YouTube, and is very knowledgeable.
Corporal Kelly (a Marine) is another very knowledgeable bushcrafter on YouTube.
One of them (both?) suggested using only 1/3 of a tab at a time - burns about 2-3 minutes.

If you have 3 kits/bags to supply, like I do (ALICE 782 - scouting/hiking rig, GO bag, & car kit - you can use small plastic zipper bags, and put 15/bag in each carry option, and 20/bag in your car kit.

UPDATE: 50/bag (regular order) = $13.50 (right now) = 150 fire starts!
25/bag fit perfectly (tight) in a 2" x 3" jewelry zipper bag.
GREAT for windy/slightly damp fire starting!
