The SOL Tinder Quik fire starter tabs ignite instantly even when wet, providing reliable fire starting capability in the most challenging outdoor conditions. Each waterproof tab burns for up to 2 minutes with a 1,300°F flame, giving users ample time to build sustainable fires from damp kindling.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional tinder materials that fail when exposed to moisture, these wax-impregnated fiber tabs maintain their ignition properties after complete water submersion. The compact design takes up minimal pack space while delivering consistent performance across temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F. Each tab weighs just 0.1 ounces yet produces enough heat to dry and ignite wet natural materials that would otherwise be unusable.
Key Features
- Waterproof construction ignites after full water immersion
- 2-minute burn time with 1,300°F flame temperature
- Compact 1-inch diameter tabs for space-efficient packing
- 12-pack quantity provides multiple fire starting opportunities
- Works in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 140°F

Field testing demonstrates reliable ignition with standard ferro rods, flint and steel, or open flame sources. The extended burn duration allows users to successfully start fires with marginal tinder materials including damp bark, wet leaves, or partially dry wood shavings. Emergency responders and military personnel rely on these tabs for critical fire starting situations where failure is not an option.
