Being quite the fan of fire and perfecting the means to start it, I'm always looking at new ways to test old methods or find new ones. I heard Fatwood was water-proof or highly water-resistant, so I wanted to try it out.
My methods weren't perfect starting out, but I eventually got the results I was looking for.

So in conclusion... I noticed the fatwood did absorb a little water, but once you got past the outer layer, you could still find some dry parts to light with a ferro rod. It's not water-proof, but it is highly water resistant.
