FIBER LIGHT FIRE STARTER

A BETTER FIRE STARTER

- Joel Moranton

I think we all have fond memories of being a kid and helping our parents start the campfire. I grew up using balled-up newspaper pages to start the campfire, but now newspapers are a rare find. So I started buying and trying other fire tender products. I am surely not going to rip up my 4Low Magazine to start fires. Over the years, I have tried a lot of different fire tender products. I have even used Duraflame logs while glamping, but stop after my s’mores tasted funny. My go-to fire tender became cotton balls covered in Vaseline. I have carried a small plastic canister stuffed with cotton balls in Vaseline for many years, and it worked great and was super cheap. Then I found Fiber Light, and I burned my last cotton ball.

The Fiber Light Fire Starter tender is a finely ground wood fiber and wax mixture. There are no accelerants or chemicals in the mix, so it provides a clean-burning flame. A pinch of this all-natural mixture can burn for 3-7 minutes, more than enough time to get a roaring fire. The wax in the compound slows the burn of the wood fiber and gives this tender a natural water repellant quality. The wood fiber is so finely ground that it easily lights from any spark. Since there is no accelerant or chemicals in Fiber Light, it cannot dry out or become less effective over time. Best of all, it is owned and operated by Veterans and is 100% made in the USA.
