Trioxicane, Maybe?

[Buckbrush]

So for years I've been carrying around in my pack this fire starter, I'm pretty sure its called Trioxicane, maybe not. Anyhow, it comes in a little green foil pack and the actual stuff is a little purple biscuit about 1 inch by maybe 3 inches. I used to get it at Longs drug store 30 years ago or so and the lest time I found some maybe 5 years ago was at an army surplus kinda place. Anyhow the stuff is awesome and I can't find it anywhere. Anybody know what I'm talking about or where to find some? THANKS

Google it. Plenty of it. In Utah they call it pyroputty and charge a lot for it.

Thanks SS! Not the same shite. I bought the pyro stuff, not the same., Thanks though

I think you mean military surplus Trioxane - available all over the internet (Amazon, eBay, etc).

 

[Buckbrush]

OK OK, I did a Google thing. Got it, Thanks. I'm an old guy

The pyroputty was a bad joke…

Go to smith and Edwards and they have a ton of the mil surp trioxane tablets for 2 bucks for a pack of 3, we’ve been using them for years and have proved to be the best fire starter, good enough to were you can skip the whole tinder step of fire making.

I use some fingernail polish and a bit of 700x.

Shoved it into one of the wife's ice cube trays and wait for it to dry.

Don’t ask for ice at feddocs house.

cotton balls soaked in colman fuel then coated with wax,
instant coffee grounds will also work (throw some freeze dried folgers into a camp fire and watch what happenes )

 

[Buckbrush]

Dang, this thing really got some mileage

 

[diablo]

Just wait, someone will reply in 10 years.

I learned how to use pyro putty years ago when teaching SEALs how to use an OTH radio out in the field. No, they wouldn't let me take any home.

I hear pyro putty only works if you wear a flat brim and take a selfie when you light it…
