Product Description
Fire is a critical capability in both outdoor use and emergency situations. LYNX Fatwood Fire Starter Sticks provide a reliable, natural ignition source designed to perform with minimal effort and no dependency on processed tinder.
Each stick is cut from resin-rich pine heartwood, naturally saturated with pitch that ignites quickly and burns hot. Shave fine curls to catch a spark from a ferro rod, or light a full stick to establish flame when building a fire, lighting a stove, or working in damp conditions.
Compact and stable over long-term storage, fatwood integrates easily into survival kits, vehicle gear, and field equipment where consistent fire starting is required.
Built for Reliable Ignition
• High Resin Content – Concentrated natural pitch supports fast ignition and sustained burn.
• Striker-Compatible Use – Easily shaved with a ferro rod striker for spark-based ignition.
• Performs in Damp Conditions – Resin allows ignition even when surrounding materials are not ideal.
• Multiple Ignition Methods – Effective with ferro rods, lighters, and matches.
• Long-Term Storage Stability – Will not degrade or lose effectiveness over time.
• Compact System Component – Sized for integration into survival kits, packs, and vehicle setups.

How to Use
- Use a striker or blade to shave small curls from the fatwood stick.

Fatwood produces a hot, reliable flame with minimal preparation, making it one of the most dependable natural ignition sources available.
FAQ
Q: Do I need a knife to use fatwood?
No. A properly designed striker edge can shave usable curls, though a knife allows for larger shavings.
Q: Will fatwood work when wet?
Yes. The natural resin content enables ignition even in damp conditions.
Q: Does fatwood expire or degrade over time?
No. Fatwood is naturally stable and can be stored long-term without loss of performance.
Reliable fire is a foundational capability. LYNX Fatwood Fire Starter Sticks provide a simple, dependable ignition source when conditions are uncertain.
