FAQ

What is Fiber Light made of?
Finely ground wood fiber and our proprietary wax blend. It is all-natural and made in Colorado by Outdoor Element.

How long does a pinch of Fiber Light burn?
About 3 to 7 minutes, depending on how big the pinch is. That is usually enough time to catch your kindling.

How many fires can I start?
About 30 fires per ounce, so that's around 30 in a Round Tin, 90 in the 3-Pack or Bag, 20 in the Fire Kit and 5 in the EDC Fire Kit. Results depend on skill level and conditions.

Does Fiber Light work in wet weather?
Yes. It is naturally water-resistant and lights reliably in damp and wet conditions; our Snow Field Burn Test video shows a pinch burning on snow. Keep it in its tin or sealed bag between uses so it stays dry.

Does Fiber Light expire?
No. It keeps indefinitely, which makes it a good fit for emergency and car kits.

Can I light it with a ferro rod?
Yes. It catches a ferro rod spark easily, and it also lights with a match or lighter. The Fire Kit and EDC Fire Kit include a spark-call: mini ferro rod, striker and whistle.

What's the difference between the Fire Kit and the EDC Fire Kit?
Both include Fiber Light and a spark-call (mini ferro rod, striker and whistle). The Fire Kit holds 0.7 oz (up to 20 fires) in a 4 x 2.5 in tin; the EDC Fire Kit holds 0.2 oz (up to 5 fires) in a pocket-size slide-open tin.

How do I refill my tin?
With the 3 oz Fiber Light Bag. One bag refills a Round Tin 3 times, the Fire Kit tin 4 times, or the EDC Fire Kit tin 15 times.

10 stars if I could… That was my review the first time I purchased this product

10 stars if I could… That was my review the first time I purchased this product. I cannot brag about it enough to others. I bought more bags to share with family and friends. They are all very impressed.

We're thrilled to hear how much you love the Fiber Light Bag! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and for spreading the word to your loved ones. We truly appreciate your support!

10. Stars if I could!

This product is above and beyond several other products, I have tried… One spark, you better be ready… Tee pee To be ready , kindlings close at hand. A small pinch is all you need

Hi John, we're thrilled to hear you love the Fiber Light! Thanks for sharing your experience, and happy camping!

Quick and easy!

Fiber Light is slick! It ignites so easy. I use it to light my charcoal grill. Ignite it with my Scout Feather, scoop it with the knife into the grill, set the chimney of charcoal on top. No problem lighting it on a windy wet day out in the wild. You can see in my video it has no problem staying lit in the wind.

Starting fires is fun, but while camping you want to start the fire and move on. Fiber Light lights so fast, and stays lit long enough to ignite the rest of your kindling. If you have an OE knife or Firebiner, you should grab a few of these.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Fiber Light Original. We are so glad to hear that you found it quick and easy to use. Thank you for choosing OE, and happy camping!

A little goes a long way

This is a great fire starter. It catches a spark easily. It does not burn for a long time, but it is enough to ignite a wax and cotton firestarter. I believe it is designed to catch the spark, which it does well. This bag will last a long time.

Thanks for the awesome review! Love hearing Fiber Light is catching a spark easily. Perhaps grab a slightly bigger pinch. Fiber Light burns a solid 3–5 minutes, even in the snow, so you shouldn’t need a second firestarter to get things going. Glad it’s earning a spot in your kit. Explore with confidence!

This stuff is tinder gold!

This is the absolute best spark catching fiber out there. Without a doubt. Hands down. I used this to teach a group of 45 boys how to make fire with a ferro rod and steel and EVERY SINGLE BOY was able to get something started. It was awesome.

Thank you so much for your glowing review of Fiber Light! We are thrilled to hear that it worked perfectly for all of the boys! You're our hero for taking a group of youth outdoors and teaching them essential skills like fire starting. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking time to send in a review!

Sturdy and holds a blade

Picked up all three of their knives during kickstarter in 2024. I have been using this knife routinely since then for every odd thing around the house in the yard, etc. Its amazing I have had boxcutter blades get duller faster. This has stayed sharp still without sharpening and I was afraid I would bend the blade, nope. Still straight and working as advertised. I have had to clean this chemically to get all sort of dried plant resin and other things of. Cleaned up like a charm. Would definitely buy again.

Love hearing this! You've definitely put that Flicker Feather to work! It's especially cool to hear it's still sharp and good as new after two years of routine use. Thanks for believing in us on Kickstarter and sticking with us. We really appreciate your support!

Very solid

Very solid, lightweight folder. Feels like a more expensive knife, locks securely, nice grip on the handle, and versatile blade.

Thanks so much for your great review! We're glad you’re happy with the Quick Feather Folding Knife and its performance. Enjoy your adventures!

A second sheath and clip makes for very flexible carry!

I like the fact that I could order another sheath and keep the original for my horizontal carry and this new pocket clip for a vertical carry according to my dress for the day.

Hi Fred, we're thrilled you're enjoying the versatility of our knife clips and sheaths! Great idea to have an extra setup for easy swapping out! Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy carrying!

Done and Done!

Finally able to get these empty canisters piling up in the garage punctured and in the recycling. Real quick, real easy. Doesn't take much muscle. Also, first thing I noticed about the grippers is how light they are. If you are an ulta-light camper, this gripper is for you!

Ah! It feels so good to clear out the garage and move those canisters into recycling! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed using Handled and that it made recycling so easy - just as intended. Thanks for sharing your experience. We appreciate your positive feedback!

Good kit

I actually wanted the utensil wrap but didn't need another set of utensils. Since they don't see the wrap separately I bought this and sewed on a piece of 550 cord type rope to make my own. Works great. When you unroll it, you have a place to lay your silverware without getting dirt or mud on them.

Hi there! Clever setup! Glad to hear you customized it to suit your needs. Got us thinking- maybe we should sell the omni-tensil's wrap separately. Hmmm. We'll look into that... In the meantime, thanks for sharing your creative solution! Happy eating outdoors!
