How to use

Pinch off a small tuft and fluff it up. Place it under or near your kindling. Light it with a spark from a ferro rod, a match or a lighter. Add kindling and grow your fire. Each pinch burns about 3 to 7 minutes, depending on size.

Spark sources that pair well: spark-call, the Firebiner, the Scout Feather and the Fiber Light Large Ferro Rod.

Where to use it: campfires, backyard fire pits, wood-burning stoves, charcoal grills and BBQs, and emergency or car kits.

FAQ

What is Fiber Light made of?
Finely ground wood fiber and our proprietary wax blend. It is all-natural and made in Colorado by Outdoor Element.

How long does a pinch of Fiber Light burn?
About 3 to 7 minutes, depending on how big the pinch is. That is usually enough time to catch your kindling.

How many fires can I start?
About 30 fires per ounce, so that's around 30 in a Round Tin, 90 in the 3-Pack or Bag, 20 in the Fire Kit and 5 in the EDC Fire Kit. Results depend on skill level and conditions.

Does Fiber Light work in wet weather?
Yes. It is naturally water-resistant and lights reliably in damp and wet conditions; our Snow Field Burn Test video shows a pinch burning on snow. Keep it in its tin or sealed bag between uses so it stays dry.

Does Fiber Light expire?
No. It keeps indefinitely, which makes it a good fit for emergency and car kits.

Can I light it with a ferro rod?
Yes. It catches a ferro rod spark easily, and it also lights with a match or lighter. The Fire Kit and EDC Fire Kit include a spark-call: mini ferro rod, striker and whistle.

What's the difference between the Fire Kit and the EDC Fire Kit?
Both include Fiber Light and a spark-call (mini ferro rod, striker and whistle). The Fire Kit holds 0.7 oz (up to 20 fires) in a 3.8 x 2.5 x 0.8 in tin; the EDC Fire Kit holds 0.2 oz (up to 5 fires) in a pocket-size 3.1 x 1.3 x 0.6 in slide-open tin.

How do I refill my tin?
With the 3 oz Fiber Light Bag. One bag refills a Round Tin 3 times, the Fire Kit tin 4 times, or the EDC Fire Kit tin 15 times.

My pinch burned out before my kindling caught. What should I do?
Use a bigger pinch and fluff it up before you light it. Each pinch burns about 3 to 7 minutes depending on its size, which is enough to catch dry kindling.

10 stars if I could… That was my review the first time I purchased this product

10 stars if I could… That was my review the first time I purchased this product. I cannot brag about it enough to others. I bought more bags to share with family and friends. They are all very impressed.

We're thrilled to hear how much you love the Fiber Light Bag! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and for spreading the word to your loved ones. We truly appreciate your support!

10. Stars if I could!

This product is above and beyond several other products, I have tried… One spark, you better be ready… Tee pee To be ready , kindlings close at hand. A small pinch is all you need

Hi John, we're thrilled to hear you love the Fiber Light! Thanks for sharing your experience, and happy camping!

Quick and easy!

Fiber Light is slick! It ignites so easy. I use it to light my charcoal grill. Ignite it with my Scout Feather, scoop it with the knife into the grill, set the chimney of charcoal on top. No problem lighting it on a windy wet day out in the wild. You can see in my video it has no problem staying lit in the wind.

Starting fires is fun, but while camping you want to start the fire and move on. Fiber Light lights so fast, and stays lit long enough to ignite the rest of your kindling. If you have an OE knife or Firebiner, you should grab a few of these.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Fiber Light Original. We are so glad to hear that you found it quick and easy to use. Thank you for choosing OE, and happy camping!

A little goes a long way

This is a great fire starter. It catches a spark easily. It does not burn for a long time, but it is enough to ignite a wax and cotton firestarter. I believe it is designed to catch the spark, which it does well. This bag will last a long time.

Thanks for the awesome review! Love hearing Fiber Light is catching a spark easily. Perhaps grab a slightly bigger pinch. Fiber Light burns a solid 3–5 minutes, even in the snow, so you shouldn’t need a second firestarter to get things going. Glad it’s earning a spot in your kit. Explore with confidence!

This stuff is tinder gold!

This is the absolute best spark catching fiber out there. Without a doubt. Hands down. I used this to teach a group of 45 boys how to make fire with a ferro rod and steel and EVERY SINGLE BOY was able to get something started. It was awesome.

Thank you so much for your glowing review of Fiber Light! We are thrilled to hear that it worked perfectly for all of the boys! You're our hero for taking a group of youth outdoors and teaching them essential skills like fire starting. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking time to send in a review!
