Phone SkopePyro Putty: Waterproof Survival Fire Starter for Emergency Preparedness, Fire Starters for Campfires - Survival Gear and Supplies

I ran across Pyro Putty recently when I started putting together a camping/emergency kit. It looked interesting, and I’d tried a lot of other tinned fire starter products and hadn’t been too pleased, so thought I’d give this a try. I really like this stuff, it doesn’t take too much for it to catch, but when it does it burns for a pretty decent time, long enough to let the fire catch whatever other material you put it with. And a little goes a long way. I’ve been using the blue/winter mix, so I can’t say what the other versions are like, but the winter version has a good consistency at midrange and colder temperatures. It leaves a little bit of an oily/waxy residue on your fingers when you grab out some from the tin, but that’s neither a complaint nor a surprise, just a mention. It smells nice too. (At the very least, I like it quite a bit.) Comes in a convenient little tin with a nice, secure, screw-on top, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came packed to the brim. I’ve only had it for a little while, but so far I’m pretty pleased with it and am planning on trying out their other versions soon.

October 2019This is the second tin that I have bought of this putty. The first one, I used with my Boy Scout troop and on a campout with my grandkids this past weekend. It was cold and windy and we were wanting a small quick fire with which to warm up. The blue putty that I got was amazing! I had used it before with my troop and had ordered a can for my son who is an avid camper all over the country. The one for my son came while we were on our campout and I know that I will order it again. It is a wonderful product and makes starting a fire quick and easy.Thank you for producing a great and useful product! By the way, the customer service is awesome too!January 2021I thought that I had submitted this review, but found that I hadn’t, so I am adding to it.I have used PyroPutty several times while camping with my scouts, including rainy conditions. Several new leaders were totally impressed, so I got each of them a can for Christmas, to their delight. I stand by this product and appreciate its capabilities.

This is exactly what I was looking for for my bug out bag. I purchased botht the winter blend and the summer blend as i do most of my hunts and hikes in florida where temerature can range from 30-105 degrees. I put the Putty in my freezer to test its pliability and it is super pliable at 25 degrees. The Summer Blend is perfect right now in florida with the temperatures being around 75 -90 degrees. The winter blend at 75 degrees is also easily workable. Regarding its ability to being ignited, it was super easy. It burned just by one strike from my ferro rod. Would highly recommend this product to someone looking for a sure way to start a fire. With it being water proof it really is a no brainer.

Easy enough to use. Way easier than the hemp rope! Get a good fluff and it lights easily with a Ferro rod. Burn time is good, about 5 minutes from a dime sized ball. About like a fireplug. Honestly I can't say I have a winner between this and fire plugs. Both work about the same. I have tested the fire plugs more in windy conditions so I can't speak of how easy it is to light in that situation. But I assume about the same? I will say it is probably easier to stick this to something unlike the plugs so it won't fly away. I still haven't found the "magic" one yet. Easy to starts and burns a long time. WetFire tabs are pretty close though.......but expensive!

This is a great product. I took a 7 day trip to the boundary waters and it was a great addition to my pack. Instafire had been my go to product for fire starting, but I thought I would try a tin of this. I am glad I did. The location I had to make my fire was up off the ground and the instafire would fall to the ground and was not very effective.The pyroputty could be formed on the kenneling and attached to it. This was a great feature. I was able to start a fire with wet starting materials in a short time.PyroPutty is now my go to and will be in all my packs for my backcountry trips.Pros:It’s compactIt’s lightI can put a tin of it in my VSSLCons:None that I have discovered as of yet

Great product!! Very happy with my purchase!!
