Ignite with confidence — our Waxed Jute Tinder Rope with Aluminium Sleeve is the reliable, long-burn fire starter designed for NZ bushcraft, tramping, hunting, camping, and survival situations. This 6 mm diameter × 660 mm length waxed jute cord is fully coated in eco-friendly wax for instant ignition and weather resistance, then fitted with a sliding aluminium sleeve to control burn rate, dissipate heat, and allow safe handling even while lit.

Key Features

• Fast & Reliable Ignition — The waxed jute catches sparks instantly from flint & steel, ferrocerium rods, or matches; burns hot (~800°C) and steady for up to 30–60 minutes (depending on airflow and sleeve position).
• Aluminium Sleeve for Control & Safety — Round-profile aluminium tube slides along the rope to adjust flame length and heat exposure — cools quickly for easy handling, prevents accidental burns, and lets you extinguish by covering the lit end.
• Weatherproof & Durable — Wax infusion repels moisture; performs in rain, wind, and high humidity — perfect for New Zealand’s unpredictable backcountry conditions.
• Natural & Eco-Friendly — 100% biodegradable jute with non-toxic wax — aligns with Leave No Trace principles and leaves minimal impact.
• Long, Versatile Length — 660 mm rope can be cut to size for multiple uses or left whole for extended burn time — ideal for building sustainable fires from tinder to kindling.

Perfect Pairing with Our Ferrocerium & Magnesium Rods This waxed jute rope is an ideal companion to our ferrocerium (ferro rod) and magnesium fire starters. Strike the ferro rod to shower sparks onto the exposed wax fibres — they ignite almost instantly. For tougher conditions, shave magnesium onto the rope for an ultra-hot starter flame. Together, they create a complete, redundant fire-starting system — a favourite among experienced trampers, hunters, and preppers.

• Multi-day tramps (Milford, Routeburn, Kepler)
