How do you make sure there’ll be camp fire
starter when you need it? - take it along whenever
you go on a hike…
Into a film canister, pack this good stuff that you’ve
mixed together... Dryer lint (though not if you’ve dried only
things made of synthetics), a little charcoal dust from a
briquette, and petroleum jelly or lard. (This
"recipe" is from a fellow who’s used it in the
wild often.) It’s gross, but a little goes a long way when
lighted with Waterproof
Matches.
