The Matchless Fire Starting Set contains Hexamine blocks, compressed cotton wool and a fire lighting flint and striker all sealed in a weatherproof metal container.
The kit provides not only the means to start a fire, but more importantly, to keep it going. Instead of burning briefly like a match, the contents will burn long enough to light almost anything that is flammable, and will provide intense heat with just what is included in the NATO Matchless Fire Starter Set.
