Buddy of mine that still trails out a lot gave some stuff called Maya Dust. Works real well too. Sawdust from the "Pino de Ocote" It's a high resin pine from the Highlands of Mexico.
Yep, same stuff. Difference is, no knife required.

Also will post a pic this weekend of a starter picked up at the Orlando show few years back. @3 inch long wood handle(cheap) wrist thong, compass, with @2 inch magnesium rod w/ 4-5 3 inch pieces of hacksaw blade on the wrist thong. Perfect for around camp.
Would love to see a photo. Thanks!
