Product Description

Fire building made easy, the pure and natural way. Don't build your fire with noxious fumes or harmful chemicals. Use the time-honored, organic method. A technique that resembles the centuries-old art of the native fire-builder. From the heart of the ancient Mayan Empire comes the remarkable product known as TinderDust. TinderDust is made from Pino de Ocote, a fatwood pine cultivated in the highlands of Guatemala and Mexico. With the 80% resin content, TinderDust is easy to light, and produces an extremely hot flame. Use just a pinch to quickly light your fire or barbecue.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the fire starter. Some mention it's a pretty good fire starter, while others say it'd be better off using a tin can. Some customers also mention that the product is made of the cheapest plastic on the earth and barely contains tinder.

A little misleading..
3 Stars
A little misleading..
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.

Having a high resin content makes this a winner. I use a magnesium rod to spark this into life, and seems to work very time. I have decanted the shavings into a more robust and waterproof container for hiking, as the transit container is too flimsy for my liking. Great product.

1.0 out of 5 stars CHEAP CRAP!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2012

I would call this a complete piece of crap, but crap might actually start a fire easier. I couldn't care less for the low quality shavings inside, I bought this solely because I wanted the cool looking "tin" to keep real tinder items in. Sadly I failed to read the reviews where I would have learned that it isn't tin it is a very cheaply made plastic container that barely stays shut, let alone being waterproof, I wouldn't even describe it as water resistant. If you are wanting to buy it for the tinder go do some research and learn about much better forms of tinder, check Youtube, tons of helpful experienced advice there. If you are making the mistake that I did and are buying it for the cool "tin", know that it is plastic. I would recommend what I have been using for years now, a leftover empty tin from some kiwi shoepolish, It is metal, lightweight, can use it to make char cloth, and it is very water resistant, plus many different sizes to choose from for different camping trip lengths.

4.0 out of 5 stars The pitch worked perfectly!
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2011

I bought the Light My Fire TinderDust to carry in my hiking Camelbak for a JIC (Just In Case) scenario. I am pretty rough with my gear and guess I slammed my back into a rock or something and the lid came off and all the pitch (TinderDust) spilled out into my pack. The tin is only made out of plastic, even though it looks like a metal tin in the pictures. I now carry the container in a small ziplock to prevent spilling in the future. That is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, I was able to use a very small pinch and light it up on the first try, which is what its supposed to do and I was able to light a campfire in no time. I had issues using my Swedish FireSteel to light the TinderDust and wound up lighting the dry pine needles instead, which ignited the TinderDust and provided enough fire to light the rest of my tinder for the fire. I recommend this for anyone needing to put together a JIC pack for their outdoor adventures. I'll change it to 5 stars when they actually make it a metal tin, which would be awesome for reusing for other gear or for collecting.

I like to try different things and this is a good fire starter. There may be better materials but overall I'm glad I have it as another source of tinder.

Reviewed in the United States on 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!

If you do not cut your own tree limbs with a saw or use tools in a home garage or shop that produce wood shavings, then this is for you! I will not purchase again. You'll be better off collecting saw dust and storing it in an Altoids tin.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE PRODUCT AND HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2012
Verified Purchase
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. OVERPRICED. DO. NOT. BUY. The photographs lead the customer to believe that tho product comes in an adorable little metal box that can be used time and time again to keep things air tight (more tinder, etc.). THIS PRODUCT IS MADE OF THE CHEAPEST PLASTIC ON EARTH AND BARELY CONTAINS TINDER. IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT AIR OR WATER TIGHT.

I EMAILED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THIS COMPANY WITH A VERY UNSATISFACTORY REPLY. THEY CLAIMED I SAW AN OLD PICTURE AND THAT THE PICTURE ONLINE CLEARLY DEPICTS SOMETHING MADE OF PLASTIC. This company is purposefully misleading customers to think this is made of metal. The packaging is a very large reason people are drawn to this, and the packaging is just plain cheap looking. I do not review things so horribly, but the combination of this horrible product and the horrible customer service direct from the company (not amazon) makes me want to warn everyone interested in this product away from it.

2.0 out of 5 stars la cajita es de plastico muy fino
Reviewed in Spain on February 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
Lo primero que me llamo la atencion fue el hecho de que la caja sea de plastico en vez de metal como yo la conocia previamente. A simple vista la cajita de plastico aunque mas comoda de llevar por peso,lla veo menos estanca u hermetica que la de metal. Por el precio,mas cara que la que venia en caja de metal , no imagine seria de plastico finito y sin que ni tenga rosca para cerrarla. El dust de madera que vv dentro si parece ser el mismo o muy similar al metalico. No se si volveria a comprarla......veo importantisimo la cajita sea mas fiable y segura que lo que parece ser.

Die Sticks von der gleichen Marke, also größere Holzstücke, sind wesentlich besser.
Bei diesen Spänchen reicht ein Windstoß oder ein kräftiger Schub aus der Lötpistole, und alles ist gone with the wind...
