the creators / suppliers of Maya dust would have you believe that this is an invaluable tool when it comes to camping or bushcraft but i just dont see it myself. It is expensive, doesnt light 'that' easily and can be replicated in so many ways with superior products. I have tried many different tinders on my trips and so far, tumble drier fluff or an unravelled tampon (seriously!) beats this hands down. The latter of the two also fits perfectly in your survival tin and stays waterproof in its little plastic wrapper. Save your money on this and instead use one of the above or if you insist of something natural, find yourself a silver birch tree, strip off a few bits of the outer bark (TAKE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED CAMPERS!) and use that. Just as effective but free.
