How-To Use Fire Paste

By Adelia Ladson

Unless you're an avid camper or survivalist, you probably don't have many opportunities to build a campfire. When you do need to, on the family camping trip, the last thing you want is it to be a hassle, especially, in the face of a hungry family. With kids running around excited and a dozen tasks that need to be done to set-up your campsite, starting your campfire needs to be quick and easy.

What's Fire Paste

Coghlan's Fire Paste is a quick, clean fire starter that's an odorless paste of petroleum distillates and ethyl alcohol. But more than that, it's peace of mind in a tube! There's no flare-up, no splashing and it will even ignite damp wood. Not affected by heat or cold, Fire Paste is ideal for hikers, campers, hunters and fishermen.
