We tried out this fire starter pack a couple weeks ago, and were surprised at how well it worked. It was super easy to use, and its perfect for anyone (especially me who doesnt know how to build a fire). It has picture directions of how to lay the wood and the starter pack. Then you light the corners of the pack, and let it do its thing. It took about 5 minutes for it to fully light. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because when I first received it, it had a strong odor and gave me a headache. There was no odor while using it, though, which was great.
