It also has piezoelectric ignition, uses standard butane fuel and is designed to be relatively windproof. It is not, however, waterproof in the least. It will work after getting wet, but you must get it reasonably dry first, which could be difficult in some circumstances. A lanyard ring is attached. The foundation of any fire is tinder, a very flammable material.
Every fire built in the wilderness begins with tinder.
It is available in many forms, but the best share one very important attribute. It must be very easily lit, even if it has been soaked in water. This tinder can be compressed even more compactly for storage without adversely affecting its performance. It doesn't burn quite as hot as a few of the other commercial tinders, but this hasn't proven to be a problem. It has never failed to get a fire going for me, even under the worst conditions.
