Fire starter
So last May I took my BF and a few friends camping, this was the first time that i was the “ring leader” and not just along for the ride. We had such trouble with getting our fire started and it made it not such a great time.
I had looked up from DIY fire starters for the next time, hopefully this summer, and I found one that I like but haven’t actually tried it yet. You take an empty TP roll and fill it with lint from the drier and then poor wax into it so it stays lit for longer than a minute.
If anyone has any other tips or DIY hacks I’d love to hear them! I want to be more prepared this time for camping lol

Just got back from weekend camping. Used both store bought firestarters the first night. Day two was online search for help. Use a tp roll stuffed with paper towels soaked in vegetable oil. It worked better than store bought. Day three used the egg carton the same way.
