Light My Fire TinderSticks

Maya sticks are natural fire lighting products, made from a species of pine tree (Pinus Montezumae) found in the highlands of Mexico and Guatemala. They have incredibly high resin content, so fully packed of resin they are often referred to as 'fat wood'. Tinder sticks are very easy to use, simply shave some slivers of wood from the stick and light with a match or firesteel. Alternatively you can make feather sticks with them and use directly as fuel for the fire. Maya Sticks will burn even when wet because the resin contact renders them waterproof. They are easy to light, burn slowly and produce a very hot flame. Tinder sticks are ideal for use on forest school classes and use with scout troops.
