Starting a fire

[Sleepy]

We wanted a fire tonight, but we're out of newspaper, so I whipped out an old trick of mine. As I was telling my wife what I was going to do, she said there was no way it was going to work. Well, the feeling of victory has come upon me!

Is that cotton balls and petroleum jelly ?

Cotton balls and rubbing alcohol

I hear sugar works to

[RLHoward]

dryer lint works good

[quarterback]

A rolled up little ball of duct tape works well too.

[mooch]

What? No gasoline?

[Mambajeep]

Hand sanitizer

I like!!! I usually cut a beer can in half and gasoline.

Lighter fluid. I didn't go elk hunting without a small can in my supplies for even wet wood.

I cut the lid off a beer can and pour a 1/2" of gasoline in it or so then just light off the vapor space if I'm OUTSIDE and need to dry out some wood to get a fire lit off. This looks like a safer idea

if you can't start a fire with gas and a match...well, for me it works everytime.

x2 for dryer lint. 9volt battery and steel wool works good also.

That's how I do it. I use dryer lint also.
