REVIEW: Utility Flame Fire Gel

Fire is one of the most important survival tools when you are outdoors. Normally, you have wood, make a pit, cook something or warm yourself by the fire. In other cases, everything is wet, you don't have time to make a fire pit, but still need to warm up quickly with some soup, tea... Utility Flame is an ideal tool for this: it is a fire gel available in Germany at CAMOSTORE. We tested it for you.

In the package are three small gel packets and a folded piece of metal. Usually, you don't just want fire, but also something warm...

...then in no time, you have folded a small stove on which you can boil water with a cup.

Press the contents of a Utility Flame packet onto the broken piece of metal. The gel is like a thick paste. It has no smell, does not stink, and is transparent.

In the military, it's "ready, fire." For us, it's more like "fire up, get ready." Light the gel with a lighter or match, and off you go...

The stove is now burning. It works up to minus 30 degrees Celsius and 5,000 meters altitude. A very uncomplicated and quick way to make fire.

The contents of the packet provide 10 minutes of fire and burn into safe residues: water, CO2, and a silica that appears as white powder here.

CONCLUSION: A super practical tool that guarantees efficient fire for emergencies. Can also be used as a fire starter in adverse/wet conditions.

Utility Flame is available in Germany at CAMOSTORE for 14.50 euros. The single packet (35 g) for 2.95 euros. The large packet (177g) for 15.95 euros. And large with stove for 19.95 euros.
