Procamptek Fire Strip Roll – The Ideal Solution for Fire Retardant Protection

Tim: Hope you have a lighter or matches. This lights instantly and burns well when lit with an open flame, but it is incredibly tricky to light with a ferrocerium rod. Don't just buy this and throw it in your bag if you are expecting to use it in the field with a rod. Make sure you practice. As other reviewers have said, technique is important. In extremis, in the cold with wet hands and fading light, I wouldn't rely on it.

Honestly, it's been relegated to last place in my emergency kit in favour of various other fire plug options. Even homemade cotton balls in vaseline are much more reliable.

resu nozama: 缶目当てで購入したのに残念です。これなら他の販売店でもっと安価で購入出来ます。この画像は使用してはいけませんね。詐欺ですよ。

Adam m: This product does exactly what it says, if you follow the directions to a “T”.

Yes it will light with the smallest of sparks after being in water, but you have to fray the ends to the point of frustration. It will light with an open flame without much work and burns hot and for a decent amount of time.

russ: Lightweight, compact, lights well, burns well. Can be kept or carried anywhere, such as a wallet or a keychain pill fob or pocket tin.

Birney L. Crosby: Starting to build backpack for adventure hiking. This will eliminate search for perfect tinder in bad weather. Takes a very small piece and stays lit long enough to catch. Going to be appreciated.

Rayzor11: I got this as another form of fire starter to put in emergency kits for vehicles and to carry when I'm out in nature. Of course I test everything before I decide to bet my safety and survival on any product. I took a 3/4" piece, scraped the surface to expose some of the fibers, and it lit right up with one ferro rod strike. It burned well and long enough so you could add tinder and get a fire going. If you know what you are doing, you could probably get away with using an even smaller piece than 3/4". So I got it as a backup and flame extender but it could easily be used as a primary method of starting your fires if you are so inclined. I try to have a variety of options as I don't know who might have to start the fire for me especially if there is an injury involved. I know I can start a fire with this product even if I only had the use of one hand/arm. In the kit it goes!

Isaac Martinez: This stuff is great! It lights well and burns pretty well, shouldn't take more than 2 inches or so to get a fire started.

And for anyone reading multiple reviews and wanting to try this, please note that you have to process it some. You can't just rip a portion off and throw sparks at it, you have to break up the wax and pull it apart where you broke the wax to expose the fibers. Works incredibly well with even a spark wheel.
