Are they the ones that use hexalite or whatever that firelighter stuff is?
We used to have them in army surplus ration packs in Oz. They're a bit shit. Slow and dirty.
Always preferred a proper fire or propane tanks (when car camping)

The one I've linked above works with pretty much everything, I think primary use-case is just dry twigs, but I've seen him use those firelighter blocks, plus you can put in a trangia meths burner in and he's got a little gas attachment as well which means you can fire it that way whilst still using the stable outer to hold your pan...

Anyone ever give these types of systems a go?
Was going to carry some starter pods. Can't imagine it would take longer a few minutes to get going with found wood, of which there's lots where I am and will be. Packs down to an envelope, basically.
