Got a new video I thought you guys might enjoy:

I don't know why I didn't do it in the video, but you can actually take Wetfire, float it in water, light it on fire, and have it burn just fine. I was skeptical at first, but quickly realized that it was impressive stuff.
 
Nice. I was at REI yesterday and didn't buy any or a sparkie. This has just put me in the plus category, but I will get them from you.
 
I've used WetFire before too and I like it. Does anyone know the shelf life of the packets? Do they expire?
 
The Wetfire I had were packaged in little yellow packets that looked like candy. I had a couple of the packages "compromised" in various bags and stuff and the ability to burn is gretly diminished if the packages have a pinhole or whatever in them and exposed to air for a few weeks to months.
 
There is a thread in the Equipped to Survive forums about how a lot of the gold packets are having problems with the seams coming apart and exposing the tablets to air.
