Pyro Putty
Anyone here have any experience with Pyro Putty? If you do, what say you? Good? Bad? Stick with something else? Seems like decent stuff and has some interesting properties.

It works well even on wet leaves , pine needles.. Saying about 20 lights per can.

No experience with the putty but have used a lot of the old military trioxane tablets and the newer esbits. Those have worked fine for me. Bob

Cotton lint from the dryer + molten wax = fire starters. Mold them in an egg carton.
Cut your old jeans into 3"x3" squares, dip in wax.
Lunch size bag of potato chips.
These all make great fire starters. And for when "you absolutely positively MUST have a fire tonight" bring a road flare. It will light anything. Keep it under your pillow for bears.

I ain't paying for that crap when fire starters are so easy to make. Dryer lint, duct tape, most stuff will burn and I can usually start a fire with natural kindling. Just keep Bic lighters handy. My specialty in Boy Scouts was knots and fire starting.

Couple of years ago I scored a full case of trioxane fuel tabs for $5. Still using them up.

Hand sanitizer works good too.

frito's corn chips or any of the store brand corn chips will burn. One will last a few minutes on its own......

I like to take a plastic snuff can and fill it with petroleum jelly cotton balls.

Lots of good fire starting material to be had or made. Cotton cord dipped in wax, the dryer lent and wax. My brother borrowed my truck a couple of days ago on a rainy day. Him and his girl friend had a state park cabin rented. He used the hand sanitizer and strike any where matches in my truck to start a fire in really damp conditions.
I carry something in my pack all the time. Usually a candle and some of the tube type gel fire starter. I have a lot of stuff made up for fire starting. The cotton cord and wax is a really good one.

Sounds like a bunch of fire bugs up in here.

He and his girl friend... Not him. You would not say "Him rented a cabin" would you?
The same goes for the depressingly common "Me and Joe rented a cabin..." It should be "I and Joe..." or to sound a bit better, "Joe and I..."
Otherwise, you sound like a B movie fake Indian. "Ugh. Me start fire."

me make fire, me cook meat.
Dang Rocky, what would I do without you to tune me up. Careful, remember I read you books, their good, I liked them, but their not perfect. Actually I appreciate the prompts, they actually help remind me of what I know and should use.
But, him and her, her and him are commonly used phrases even if they are wrongly said.

I think the name was an unfortunate choice. Pyro? It could be banned just for the pyromaniac connotation.

pyro-
a combining form meaning “fire,” “heat,” “high temperature,” used in the formation of compound words: pyrogen; pyrolusite; pyromancy.
Chemistry. a combining form used in the names of inorganic acids, indicating that the acid's water content is intermediate between that of the corresponding ortho- (more water) and meta- (least water) acids (pyroantimonic, H4Sb2O7, pyroarsenic, H4As2O7, and pyrosulfuric, H2S2O7, acids). The combining form is also used in the names of the salts of these acids. If the acid ends in -ic, the corresponding salt ends in -ate (pyroboric acid, H2B4O7, and potassium pyrobate, K2B4O7, or pyrosulfuric, H2S2O7, and pyrosulfate, N2S2O7); if the acid ends in -ous, the corresponding salt ends in -ite (pyrophosphorous acid, H4P2O5, potassium pyrophosphite, K4P2O5).
