Pros

You have to play around with it a bit to see what suits your needs. Awesome item to have when needed. This paratinder is great.

Once the sheath is cut, exposing and separating the interior cords is easy. The wax makes it so the tinder cord is usable even if the cord gets soaked in water. I use this cord when i go camping and it helped me out to setup a shelter from the rain.



Cons

The threads blackened from all the sparks laying next to them. Not the best para cord not a good fire starter.

Quality


I’ve found that locally foraged fat-wood works remarkably well and is free.


Used this product on a week long camping trip.

Price


Pretty cool stuff, and a great price.

Packaging/appearance


Field tested the inner part of the paracord & the wax part for your tinder is very flammable.

    After exposing the inner red tinder cord and cutting off about 4 inches of it i unwound it and tried to get it to light with a ferrocerium spark rod and striker


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The sparks rained down on it strike after strike and made small black burn spots


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Sometimes a very short lived very small red coal would appear and then quickly go out

    Still it would not light with a ferrocerium spark rod and striker


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The inner red tinder cord appears to be a wax coated or wax saturated cotton twisted string


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However the wax is also what makes it difficult to fluff enough for use with a ferro rod


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Other than that it is a standard 550 paracord and can be used for all the same purposes
