WetFire Fire Starting Tinder

I procured some WetFire from UST recently and was honestly not really expecting a whole lot. I mean, how much better could a fire starting tinder be than the five million other ones I have tried (slight exaggeration as I think I only have four million different tinders sitting in my house)? I have to say that the WetFire did impress, especially with its resistance to water. The stuff floats, lights very easily, and can even be lit while floating in a puddle of water. You can’t say all that about many tinders, if there are even any other ones out there like it.

Here is a video I made showing the WetFire in action:

I tried really hard to make a video about something other than fire. Those flickering little flames won out in the end though, so here is a video about making a fire starting goo with a couple of very common ingredients:

The goo actually works really well and is fun to make. Be sure to store it in a container that can handle gasoline byproducts, unless you want your whole backpack to smell like a gas station.
