Looks like it could breeze right past airport security, too. Isn\'t that special!

Oh....thew fire bugs will love this!! To be fair theres always gasoline, so not making it will do no good, perhaps it will save some lives.

re; bramachari
So long as Airport security is looking for weapons instead of dangerous people it is a sad joke.
I like Calcium carbide as a fire starter. Just add water and a spark.

paraffin gives off a black smoke that coats your food in greasy black goo that tastes like eating burnt rubber (if you have the courage to even try it). It is therefore NOT ideal for cooking over an open flame. This type of fuel should only be used to get wood or charcoal going and the base tinder fuel should be burnt completely away before you being cooking anything on such a fire. I should perhaps also add that eating anything coated in the black goo is highly carcinogenic.

Everything can be abused, I wouldn\'t want to forgo something good just because something can be misused. This looks like a great product.

All technology can be used for evil but lighting a fires is not usually difficult if you are properly prepared for it.
re; bramachari The TSA is a sad joke that does nothing to make flying safer.

Interesting. Sounds like something easy to whip up. Back in the scouts we used to mix kerosene and pencil shavings with wax.
I have to say that with the charcoal chimney, if you spray a bit of cooking oil on the newspaper, it will burn much longer and start easy

The ancient Greeks had a weapon called \"greek fire\" that they lobbed at enemy ships. Greek fire would ignite and burn on water and therefore could not put extinguished by the only available means of the day, \"water\".
Whee, thousands of years later, someone has re-invented a greek fire like product, I\'m impressed - not.
If you are in the woods, in a position where fire starting is necessary for survival and you don\'t have this basic skill, then you shouldn\'t be in the woods in the first place. It ain\'t rocket science................

Alot of diverse opinions, but I think I would give it a whirl for my next hiking and camping trip !!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK INGIVEAWAYS AND SALES ! What\'s the exact formula too?

Ya but can gasoline float on water and burn in your hand with out catching your hand on fire.? Look it up www.instafire.com
