Home Made Fire Starters

Saturate cotton balls in Vaseline and pack them tightly into a 35mm film container. They burn hot and long.

Collect drier lint.  Stuff into the pockets of a used egg carton (paper) and cover with paraffin wax.  When needed, just break off one of the twelve fire starters and light the egg carton.  Burns good for 10-15 minutes.
