 Light a fire in the rain, these will. Aug 08, 2007
By jimnypivo
"Jim Hisson"
I got some of these Mayan Resinwood sticks and a magnesium fire starter at a Sporting Goods Show a few years back.
Shave a few splinters off the chock-full of resin sticks, strike with the magnesium striker, and you have a campfire going quickly. If you have trouble finding burnable material, one of the Mayan firesticks will burn strong and last quite a long time. They came in handy more than a few times on damp and wet conditions while camping with my sons' Scout Troop. These Mayan sticks are FAR superior to Georgia or Alabama fatwood. I bought mine in Tennessee!
The snuff-can package has the shaving part already done for you, but you'll need additional tinder if you want your fire to last.
They are also great to keep in the car with some tinder and matches for those 'just in case' situations.

these really work! Aug 25, 2008
By J. Loder
i was so happy to find these online. i lived in Guatemala for a couple years, and got really spoild using these resin-rich sticks (available in any market there since a larg percentage of people in that country still heat their homes and cook using open wood fire) to start any type of fire. they are better than any lighter fluid you can find and they smell AMAZING (of pine) as opposed to toxic, and they won't contaminate your food! personal tip that isn't mentioned on the package: they work even better if you can splinter them into fine strips with a knife. you might have to smash one stick with a hammer to do that since i found that the ones in my package came in thick wedges.

There is nothing better than fatwood which is what these Mayasticks are for starting a fire.....they light easily and burn hot! hot! hot! Great for camping, hunting and emergency use.

Starts fires easily Aug 27, 2010
By G. Boyd
I got these and had to test them immediately since I had never used them before. I shaved some toothpick sized slivers off one stick to make a small pile. Then striking my Swedish Firesteel - Army Model only a couple times I was able to get the pile to ignite. A lot quicker than I expected. The pile remained on fire for about 2 minutes which would have been sufficient to start a fire in the conditions I was in and the pile was pretty small. I tried it again with the same results. Wanting to demonstrate to my wife I made a third attempt. Of course that time it took a couple minutes of striking to get the pile to ignite. Not sure why it took longer but figured it was because my impatient wife was standing over me. Regardless I was glad that it happened so I wouldn't expect that quick of a light everytime. Cool product
