Homemade Campfire Starters –

“Homemade
Campfire Starters” is an exceptional article on easy to make fire starters
using supplies in your very own home.
Spending
a few hours now making your own fire starters will have you ready at a moment’s
notice to make a nice, warm fire. David Webb has many suggestions for ways to
make your own. These suggestions include: soaking cotton balls in petroleum
jelly, dryer lint soaked in citronella lamp fuel, putting sawdust mixed with
melted paraffin wax in egg cartons to create your own egg shaped fire starters,
making a duct tape ball and using rubber tubing (not recommended unless in
certain circumstances). Some of these fire starters take more preparation than
others, but others for example duct tape, can be used in a survival situation.
This
article was a fantastic one for me to read since I am not very skilled at
making fires. As well, I find that it is difficult at times to make a decent
fire and it can take a very long time before the fire ignites. When we were in
Algonquin Park with the school, at times we would have trouble making a good
fire to cook our food and to warm up. These fire starters could have definitely
helped us then and I’m sure that they will be great to have on any outdoor
trips in the future.
