I don't know if you would call this stuff fleece it just kind of reminded me of the feel of fleece, however with that being said I do still think that it would be a synthetic material. With the little experience that I have had with this stuff and the few times that I have burned it, it burns down to nothing. There is barely a small black char mark where it was by the time it goes out, but again I know what you are saying about the fumes and all. Nominal compared to all the other stuff that goes on unattended but "we" should do a better job of protecting our wilderness so that we can use it for many many years to come. Besides we can always pack something that small back out with us...sabre11004...


The first step that you take will be one of those that get you there...
