Making your own fire-starters

Показать описание
In this video I will show you how to make your own fire-starters using pine shavings (the kind you can find at any pet store / agricultural store) and regular candle wax (I bought these at the dollar store). I believe I purchased my oversized muffin / brownie tins at the Christmas Tree Shop.

Which fire starters do I like more?? I'm not sure actually; they both seem to work equally well.

CAUTION: Do NOT using sawdust from pressure treated wood; it is toxic when burned.

MODIFICATIONS: Instead of pine shavings, dryer lint works well too. If you plan on cooking over your fire, be sure to light it well in advance or your s'mores might taste like fresh linen (or whatever candle scent you have used). Let me know if you have any questions!

I made these today using an egg carton. I don't have shavings, so I used shredded up newspaper. I was able to make 18 with 2 x 4 inch tall candles that were no longer useful. I tested one out and it burned for almost 10 minutes. Awesome!!

Simplest way I've seen to make them so far. I like the egg carton idea, might try it with cotton balls. Thanks for sharing.

Bounce sheets. Every survival kit should have box in it. Extremely flammable. These work really good as well. Great video

I do pretty much the same using cotton. From terry towel dryer lint and pill bottles.

An alternative if you have some old "broken" candles laying around, just stick a small stick or match in it, it dose the job... Quite well actually...

Genius idea with the egg cartons. No clean up, no waste. Cotton wick? Even better

Thanks for this. I’m going to start making these and sell these to my customers for a buck a piece.

Watched the chicken coop vids. This one sold it to me, though. Clever! Subcribed!

Good idea!  I use dryer lint and old candle wax and it works great!

That 1 brick burned excellent, I think half a brick would work perfectly too.

I learned how to do that in the Boy Scouts back in the late 70's. Isn't it funny how old techniques still work today. But now there called things like prepping, self reliance, etc. Impress me, think of something new.

once when I was in 4th grade, I made a bunch of my own version of these for a science fair, but instead of using muffin tins it was a pvc pipe and a homemade press
