.....interesting........ chemical/volatile fluids /material composition the same. texture, smell, crumbling, flame pattern and results the EXACT same.... $12 CDN for 8 Wetfire packs. $3 CDN for over a pound of ZIP, approx 34 equally sized tabs..... vac seal the ZIP cubes..... hmmmmm.
wrapping in foil to keep the fuel odor down 4 big foil wrapped bundles and matches in heavy duty freezer bag, then placed into second freezer bag. No odor, and waterproof. floats in water, burns in water, can be dried off after submerging and relit vehicle fire kit, sealed into a tobacco tin, with 10 books of matches , everything into a heavy duty freezer bag, then into a second bag. This will reside under the front seat. Should be fun at border crossings.......
I like the WETFIRE cubes.....and the mylar packaging. I got em stashed all over my packs, pockets, knife sheath pockets etc. The mylar packaging really holds up to abuse , even if the WETFIRE crumbles inside. (Its still usable) I just cannot justify spending insane amounts of money on them for REGULAR USAGE. I plan to buy some mylar bags and use the ZIP FIRESTARTER inside of them, and iron them shut. (or buy a compatible vacuum sealer that seals mylar....). i have found the ZIP for as low as $2 CDN a BOX. Average price seems to be $3 - 5 . still cheaper. ACTION SHOTS!
Where do you find the zip so cheap? I have used them before and they work well just stink like kerosene.
thinking mylar bags like these: (can they be sealed with a hot iron?) http://mylarbagsdirect.com/3zisepo20pa.html
