Origin Outdoors Fatwood “Maya Sticks” are resin-rich pine sticks designed for reliable natural fire starting. Their high resin content allows small shavings to ignite quickly and burn hot, making them an effective natural alternative to conventional kindling.

To use, plane or scrape a few small shavings from the stick using the back of a knife or a suitable tool, then ignite them with a firesteel, lighter or matches. Sourced from sustainably managed forests within the EU, Maya Sticks are a practical natural tinder option for camping, bushcraft and emergency preparedness.
