Waxed Jute fire starters are a classic and one of our favorite essentials in any bushcraft fire kit. Each piece is handmade by us using high quality European sourced jute and premium wax. The result is a compact, water resistant and extremely reliable tinder that ignites with minimal effort.
Every box contains 20 pieces. They are lightweight, easy to carry and designed for fast ignition in any weather. To use them, simply take a piece, fluff it up a bit with your fingers to expose the inner fibers and strike your Ferro Rod directly onto it. The waxed jute will catch sparks instantly and produce a hot, steady flame strong enough to ignite kindling even in wet or windy conditions.
Simple, effective and field tested in the Basque forests. Handmade quality you can trust from LastBush Survival.
What's included in the box?
Each tin contains 20 handmade Waxed Jute fire starters. Packed in a compact reusable metal tin with instructions inside the lid, ready for any adventure.
How long does each piece burn?
Each full piece burns for around 10 minutes with a strong, steady flame. More than enough time to ignite kindling, even in wet or difficult conditions.
Can I cut each piece into smaller sections?
Yes. In most situations you only need a small section to start a fire. Simply cut off what you need, fluff the fibers and save the rest for later, making each tin last much longer.
Does it still work after getting wet?
Yes. The wax coating makes the jute highly water resistant, allowing it to perform reliably in rain, snow and damp environments.
Can it be lit without a ferro rod?
Absolutely. It catches instantly from a ferro rod, but it also lights easily with matches or even the last spark from an almost empty lighter.
Does it contain any chemicals?
No. Each piece is handmade using premium European jute and high-quality wax, with no unnecessary chemical fire starters or synthetic accelerants.
Step 1 — Prepare your piece
Take one Waxed Jute cord and fluff one end with your fingers to expose the inner fibers. You can use the full piece or cut it into smaller sections depending on how much fire you need.
Step 2 — Position and strike
Place the waxed jute close to your tinder base or directly where you want the flame to start. Strike your ferro rod firmly, directing the sparks into the fluffed fibers.
Step 3 — Build your fire
Once it ignites, let it burn steadily and start feeding small dry sticks into the flame. Build your fire gradually until it is fully established.

Yes. Our magic cotton sticks and waxed jute are both designed to perform in wet conditions. The wax coating on the jute repels moisture, and the magic cotton formula ignites even from a single spark after being exposed to rain. The fatwood’s high resin content makes it naturally water-resistant. Dry them briefly if fully soaked and they’ll perform as normal.
