Product Description SURE STRIPS Genuine Military Tinder "S.E.R.E. STRIPS" Includes: (6) SURE STRIPS Survival Instructions Special Cotton. SURE STRIPS are currently in use by U.S. Special Forces and NATO Military Units worldwide. They have been deemed mandatory survival items for inclusion survival / vest applications by the US Army Project Management (PM) Aviation Life Support Equipment (ALSE) Aircrew Integrated Systems for the US Army Air Warrior Program. NSN 6545-00-152-1578 GENERAL PACKET,INDIVIDUAL SURVIVAL KIT. SURE STRIPS have been used in the following survival training programs: - Universal Training Systems, Western Region Aviation Survival School, (WRASS), Oregon. - U.S. Army Survival Training (S.E.R.E.) Ft. Bragg, NC. - U.S. Air Force Coastal Survival Course (S.E.R.E.) FL/AK. - U.S. Navy SEALS Survival Training (S.E.R.E.) Little Creek, VA. Directions: Fire Prep- Collect small, medium and large sized twigs and sticks to prepare your fire before lighting your SURE STRIPS. Detailed instructions are included how to make various fire lays for normal, stealth and rescue fires. Think of the SURE STRIPS as a lighter, its intended purpose is to start fires. You do not need to use the entire strip for each fire. You should be able to make 5 fires per SURE STRIPS. In a situation where all available tinder is too wet, you can use the SURE STRIPS as an extender to normal kindling. Burn time is 3 to 4 minutes. Fire Starting- You can start 30 fires with the cotton provided if you divide each cotton ball into 15 equal parts. Lay one piece of divided cotton on the edge of the SURE STRIPS, use a sparking device to light the cotton. The sparks you create will ignite the cotton and the cotton will ignite the SURE STRIPS. Use care to keep your cotton dry. If strip is wet, try to remove as much moisture as possible and use double the cotton; using a flame does not require cotton and will light easily. Box Contains 6 SURE Strips, Survival Instructions, SPecial Cotton Review: A must for any serious survival kit. - Very effective. The cotton wool supplied with it is quite generous quantity wise. I'd suggest mixing the cotton wool with a little Vaseline. That makes it a very useful flame extender in it's own right. Review: Genuine Firestarter in Every sense of the word! Genuine! - For The Military. These Strips have been around for awhile. Very cool these are now available to the rest of the world. They fold flat, are waterproof, and even spark and burn more if the get wet. I decided to push these to their limits, break them down "I tinker with things that way" and create up to 96 individual Fire-starters with one kit and each of the pieces burned for 45sec - just over a min. Best Benefit to me is the fact that are multi-purpose. They a great fire starters however, they can help lubricate zippers, clean moving parts with firearms, and so on. Accounting for Reliability, Convenience, Ease of Use, and Portability. These are definitely a Must Have.

Very effective. The cotton wool supplied with it is quite generous quantity wise. I'd suggest mixing the cotton wool with a little Vaseline. That makes it a very useful flame extender in it's own right.

some of the BEST Sure Strips
Does exactly what its supposed to and you cant get much better of fire starters, these work very well.

Overpriced and over-hyped.
These strips burn quit nicely, but they are not very easy to get started and they give of some serious smoke. For tinder you're better off with cotton balls or char or something like that, but once one of these is lit it burns well and is pretty wind-resistant. Great for use with a lighter, not so good with a fire steel. The ONLY advantage to these strips is the fact you can easily carry one in your wallet (as I do now). Overall, I think they're overpriced for what they do. Soak some cotton balls in Vaseline and you'll get results at least as good for a lot less money.

Great product!
Easy and it WORKS Very little spark needed if you use the cotton to ignite the sere strip. American made is a plus! I've used these strips quite a few times and they always light, even in the rain. Takes up no space at all. Keep them in your pocket. Highly recommend these tender strips.

Does what it's supposed to do
So I've recently decided, hey, I should carry around a fire starter kit on my keychain. I like to be prepared. Well, I found starting a fire using just moss/weeds/etc., to be next to impossible. I know keep one of these strips in my wallet and a tiny starter kit on my keychain. It catches sparks quickly and stays burning for a good long time (more than a minute). Just make sure you have your kindling and larger pieces of firewood once you get this going and you'll have no problems getting a fire going.
