 EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE December 27, 2008

WARNING: This product is extremely flammable. I bought this tinder and tried to start a fire with it, but before I could get the fire going the whole tin full caught fire and was gone in seconds. I cannot recommend this product.
A little misleading.. November 16, 2008

I bought this along with other things to put together a basic survival kit. I was expecting more, especially since the description used the word "tin" for what the Mayadust is contained in. The container is plastic and I could see it easily "popping" open inside my backpack with the moving around/etc activities. I'm actually thinking of putting it inside a plastic baggy or a rubber band around it just in case. Haven't actually used it yet so I can't say much on that part. In the end, I think i'd rather use a small METAL tin of some sort and use pencil shaving/cotton balls/etc as a firestarting base then buying this again. Nice novelty item essentially.
Complete waste of money! May 14, 2008

Not really worth it at all! I wasted 1/4 of a Swedish Firesteel trying to get some of it to burn. And that was in perfect conditions in my garage at home. Cotton balls work better, and they're A LOT cheaper! I will never purchase it again.
NOVELTY PACKAGING!!! March 19, 2008

This looked perfect for my daypack emergency kit. I actually bought this for the little snuff box, (who's gonna pay $4 for wood shavings?), turns out it holds only 1 oz. and it's PLASTIC! Under GOOD conditions that amount might start 2-3 fires. Had it been metal, adding an O-ring would keep it's contents dry. I could've got the sticks & made much more for same price!
O.K. but could be better.. February 16, 2008

burns hot and long, but it takes a lot and is not easily lit, also its very expensive considering how small the tins are
