I've yet to use it in any real world capacity, but it's a great addition to my bug out bag, the one time I did use it to test it out it functioned great, and I like the waterproof container that holds everything.

el articulo ya lo habia comprado, y es muy bueno si te das el tiempo de usarlo, te equivocas e improvisas, lo mas util y de uso mas frecuente seria el soplador en realidad lo compre por eso, pero el pedernal y las “bolitas de algodon” impregnadas de algo, funcionan bien no tiene nada de complicado pero por si acaso lo primero es partirlo y frotarlo para formar una pelusa, como esta compactado no es tan simple de prender en su forma original, la pelusa se incendia de manera simple e inmediata, no soples… agrega madera o mini pedazos de carbon, que inicie ahora colocas piezas mas grandes ahora sopla… en cuanto al pedernal yo pongo la sierra firme sobre una piedra plana y paralela al suelo el pedazo de algodon en pelusa frente a la sierra y el pedernal lo froto en la parte superior de la sierra, las chispas caen y encienden la pelusa, se puede encender carbon y madera (muchos mas) pero va a tomar practica

When I started looking at a device to assist with fire starting, I was considering a battery-operated device but couldn't see myself backpacking with something like that. While looking at options on Amazon, this product came up as a suggestion and I am so glad it did. I didn't really need the magnesium & striker but don't mind having several ignition sources with me when backpacking...you just never know. The fire fuses are pretty cool, don't weigh much, and work very, very well. Having a storage tube for everything is a nice touch as well but if you are a gram weenie, you may want to exclude the tubes for the fuses and the larger one as well. The star of the show is the telescoping bellows (4"-19"). I have used this to help start my charcoal BBQ and for making fires. It was of particular benefit when trying to start a fire with slightly green wood and zero wind. In this particular case, the bellows were a life save...highly recommended.Pros:- stainless construction- fuses work very well- storage tubes- lightweight bellows (even though made of metal)Cons:- would be nice if price was a bit lower though still very good value given the cold alternativesDurability / Construction - 8/10Functionality - 10/10Value - 9/10I hope you found this review helpful in making your purchase decision.Paul

2019 update: 4 years and I still have the original bellows and the plastic tube this fire kit comes in. The rubber caps still seal perfectly fine and I still use this to start and maintain the fire pit in the backyard, my charcoal grill and our campfires. I like Bee Fire Fuses and I keep getting replacements for this kit. If you fluff just one side it catches easy and you can use it like a mini candle moving flame wherever you need it. There are now some knockoffs around so this kit seems a little expensive but I can vouch for its long term durability.Excellent little kit. The plastic seals fit tightly and have not let any moisture in even in pouring rain. The bees wax tinder comes in another small container within the larger container that's probably not necessary but I am a big fan of overkill. The striker for the fire steel is a little flimsy but works ok in practice. I added some drier lint for extra tinder as there is a little spare room for it (or a cotton ball). Well designed bellows add a surprising amount of air to the fire.

This is a great little kit: great performance, light weight, acceptably priced, well made.The bellows is very well made, sturdy, and works extremely well. (Works well for fires in fireplaces too, but a little short for that use.) Buy it, carry it, use it!The "Baddest Bees" tinder fuses work extremely well. Compact, waterproof, fast-starting, hot burning. But be sure to tease them apart into little fluffballs before trying to light them. In contrast, cotton balls impregnated with petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline) are also compact, waterproof, fast-starting , hot burning, and they last longer (all once you tease them apart into fluffballs), and can be made cheaply at home, but your hands get greasy when handling them. The Baddest Bees seem to be wax-impregnated, so there's no greasiness, and they're more compact than cotton balls (but don't burn as long). You choose.The fire steel is a pretty standard product. This one has a nice, ergonomic plastic handle. It's a little short, but then this is a compact kit. You can easily get longer ones if desired.The fire steel striker has serrations on the short end. I found it awkward to use the end, but it strikes easily along the long edge.
