Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you plan on using WetFire to start an occasional campfire, it's probably adequate. But, if you have it as part of your Survival / Prepper / Emergency plans, have a backup. I pulled out some that I've had for over a year, and I couldn't get it to light. I literally held it in the flame of a lighter and it would not burn. I understand this product expires, but do you really want to count on having received a fresh batch? I wrote to the manufacturer about this, and they sent me 2 as a replacement. The replacements were not even solid, they were a light powder that blew away when I opened it. I have cotton wadding from 20 years ago that still works great, I have gel fire-starter from 10 years ago that is fine, and I have wood shavings from when I was a Boy Scout 40 years ago that light great. High tech is fun, I just don't want to be in the one situation where I really need a fire and have WetFire let me down.
