We've all been there. Maybe it's raining or we don't have proper tinder but the frustration is the same. We are left unable to start a fire and we start scrambling looking for something, anything to help get things going. Enter Clean Flame. The Clean Flame Rapid Fire fire starter is a foolproof fire-starter. Really the only thing it doesn't do is self-ignite (thankfully). Clean Flame claims it will work in all conditions and is super easy to use. We put it to the test in some pretty horrible, wet conditions to see how well those claims hold up under real world conditions. Here we go.
Ease of Use: To use, you actually light the bag itself to get an initial flame going, thus igniting the rest of the bag and the contents. No dealing with breaking anything apart or building a tinder bundle to get things going, if you can light the bag, you are well on your way to having a roaring fire. If the bag itself gets soaking wet, you can simple tear it open and light the interior fuel bundle. We were able to light the contents under rainy conditions without a problem. You still have to start with smaller pieces of wood and wait until the bag is roaring before putting them on but the long burn time of the Rapid Fire makes the job easy.
