Kaeser Wilderness SupplyKaeser Wilderness Supply Charcloth Char Cloth Fire Starter Hand Made in USA Camping Hiking Bushcraft 4 Rolls

It works great! The tin is a good size to fit in my fire kit and came with a ranger band to keep it shut. The cloth is thick and sturdy. It is very durable but pulls apart easily when you need it. It took a spark from my flint and steel with the first strike and burned like a champ. I make my own car cloth but it never turns out this durable and ends up turning to dust in the tin. I bought this because I needed char cloth to start a fire to make char cloth but I may just buy more of this until I get some good cotton material. It'll be hard to go back to t-shirt cloth after this.

Easy to take a spark

The Kaeser Wilderness Supply Charcloth works great. It is pliable looks to be charred perfectly. The tin box is a great size and really like that it included rubber band for keep it closed tight.I have had no issues at all with the charcloth and I have tried it so far with flint and steel, a ferro rod, and a fire piston. I generally like to make my own charcloth but needed some quick and didn't have time to do it myself, so I ordered the Kaeser Wilderness Supply Charcloth and will likely do it again if needed.

I bought this to use with one of the piston fire starters. Either it isn't quite what my fire starter is looking for or there is something wrong with my piston fire starter or, most likely, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm leaning toward the latter. So, I can't rate it (or myself) higher than a 4 for now. Sure glad I'm not in a survival situation. I'd be pretty cold.

This is to be a gift for my friend who loves to be outdoors, hunting, camping, and showing his grandson all kinds of things.... he is a teacher, retired, but still teaching.

I recently presented part of a Webelos outdoor adventure to make fire without matches or a lighter at a campout and used this char cloth as part of the flint & steel part.It worked fantastically- a small spark would catch, and could be fanned into larger flame easily. (for details, watch the Townsends video on fire making on Youtube)Highly recommend!

Okay, so realistically if you plan to be reliant on char-cloth then you'd best know how to make it yourself. But for the adventurer who also works 60+hrs a week and has a family life to juggle this is a fully functional time-saver. I picked this up for an upcoming camping trip load-out but removed half the cloth to stow in my char tin, which I'll be using to teach my son how to actually make and use char-cloth. I've tested this with a lighter, striker and sparker, and the ignition is just the same as for what I make myself. The tin is good and the ranger band keeps the lid snug. I prefer threaded lids but this would work in a pinch if you wanted to punch a hole to use it for making your own char-cloth. Overall it's an excellent product, would certainly purchase again to stock/re-stock the family BOBs and my practice kits.

It's a good second fire back up. Works very well. Will buy again
