Each one of these fire tabs is about an inch long. Yes, you can use lint or shavings, but these are very compact and will easily fit in the tin. You simply pull them apart when you're ready to start your fire. It is suggested that you "always have wood chips, twigs, leaves, etc. On hand before starting [your] fire." You simply pull these apart before you light them. The tin idea works very well and if you seal with masking tape, the tin can be easily resealed. One other item I added to the mix was the 24-inch Chainmate Survival Saw , an item that completed my basic camping/survival packet. This handy little saw easily fits in a backpack or can be worn on a belt.
I had tried lighting these directly out of the bag, and that is not how they were meant to be used. The second time I tried them, I pulled one out and fanned it out. I grabbed one end and started pulling it apart so that it turned out looking like some kind of mini feather duster. In this configuration, it ignited so fast and burned so quickly that I singed all the hairs off the backs of my fingers because it essentially flashed over my whole hand. I was very impressed.
I still don't know if I would opt for these over some homemade vaseline+cotton ball fire starters, but they are definitely useful and going into one of my packs.
Even if you do it the easy way & use a regular old lighter to start your fires instead of striking flint trying to do it the "hardcore" way ;) you can still use these things to get a fire going. A lot of times when it's damp, it's fine burning slightly wet wood once the fire is roaring, but getting one going can be a real pain when all the grass and tinder-type stuff is wet. These little tinder tufts hold the flame long enough to get some thicker stuff burning. I wouldn't go camping without them, now.
They came in a pkg of 10 as advertised.
1st impression was they were awful small. These are wrapped cotton wads. I did 3 tests
1. fluffed one end and lit the fire tab with a Magnesium Fire Starter. It burned ok for 2 min.
2. I dipped two of these in hot candle wax, so it was saturated. Left one end open so i could fluff it and light with a Magnesium Fire Starter. This one burned for 3 min. Same test ran twice with the same results
3. Put 2 in a small baggie with Vaseline. Squished it around and let it sit overnight. I had to light these with a lighter as the Magnesium Fire Starter would not give enough spark. I tried scrapping a few times and then getting a bigger spark, but it would not light without the direct flame. These burned for 4 minutes.
--When I say it burned for a certain amount of time it means the flame was steady for that time. it was still burning after that, but the flame had started to get smaller.
--- I like the product and will order more and I'll be using the wax dipped on these. I always use multiple flame source in my bags, but the wax dipped allows the striker and a lighter. Better choice for me. These tests were done in pretty optimal conditions
You can always use more than one for bigger or longer flame.
Personally though I think a better way to go is to get a hunk of one of those 3 hour logs for your fire place. A baseball size hunk will start a lot of fires.
