About Betterwood 10 Pound Fatwood Natural Pine Firestarter 1 Pack
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
88% appreciated its rugged durability, but 12% found it prone to rust
The nugget fire starters are more durable than fatwood sticks, with a hundred nuggets and around a hundred fatwood sticks per box.
Fatwood sticks have an advantage over chemical firelighters as they are not chemical firelighters.
The quality of the sticks in my box is very varied.
I faced difficulty in lighting the fire starters and had to use 8 matches to get two of them to stay lit.

85% found it easy to use in the dark, while 15% struggled with the mechanism
This fatwood works like a charm and reduces my dependence on finding dry kindling when out on the trails.
The fatwood sticks have become thicker than before, making it harder to light and requiring more than necessary to get a fire going.
Starting a fire with fatwood sticks is not easy as it takes more than a single match to light them up.
89% praised for its reliable ignition, though 11% experienced issues in windy conditions
Fatwood sticks are not reliable for ignition and it takes more than a single match to light them off.
81% praised for its water-resistant design, though 19% experienced issues in heavy rain
Fatwood burns easily and is water resistant if of good quality.
Hexamine tablets are more water-resistant than fatwood sticks and can burn in the rain.
I have faced issues with the product and there are good and bad sticks for lighting a fire in the batch.
