Thanks for your great review! It means a lot. It is now being used by military special forces as they can use it and then leave it because it is a natural fertilizer when spent. Enjoy! Quick tip - put it in one pile - light - wait 10-15 seconds and give it a light stir. Works every time.
I’m glad you made this video, Insta-fire doesn’t get much love and has been around a while. I had an old pack I had forgotten about in the trunk of my car and used it to get a nice BBQ going in the park in a very damp public grill. The packet had to be eight years old and worked great.
It's pretty trippy to dump the burning Insta-Fire into a bowl of water! I had to try that myself when I got some. I couldn't get it to light with a spark wheel (Zippo EFK or Spark-Lite) but it lights easily with something more robust like a fire steel. I think it's a pretty good product and pretty cheap but I'm not convinced it gives me anything I don't get from fatwood, ESBIT, Tinder-Quik, etc.
Hello Rob, thanks for taking the time to comment. I tend to agree with you, generally speaking there are several other things I would take into the woods before this. It works, but not the best option out there. Great for getting things going in the backyard though. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video...I was kind of hesitant on buying this when I saw this at my local WalMart. Not now, I'm going to load up on this. Great video, very informative.
Just picked a bag of this stuff up tonight, disappointed its pretty hard to light with a fire steel, but oh well! For a buck, can't really complain haha. Nice review.
So, just to be clear . . . in order to see if this product worked well enough to start a fire when everything was wet, you chose "dry" branches from the the base of a tree? So, I guess we still don't know if it works as advertised, right?
Now, that is awesome . Yes and I'm gonna go buy some..FOR A DOLLAR, I'LL BUY A FEW BAGS..THANKS Wil ...My wife works at Walmart and I didn't even know about this one 🙃 From now on , I'm doing my own bargain hunting 🙃 and wait til I tell my wife.....BRENDA IT WAS ONLY ONE DOLLAR 💵 and our wives 🤔 think their big bargain shoppers ? THANKS 👀 YOUR VIDEOS ARE WORTH WATCHING.
Good review! but why didnt u buy like 10 bags for 10 bucks? Test them in realife scenarios that you come up with. Sheesh....for a buck no ones gonna just use a 1/3rd! But in an emergency situation that would be good to know or to think about. I dont think i will buy that stuff to boil my Tea!

I'm wondering if this would light with a magnifying glass on a sunny day.
