I use old burnt candles, miniture cupcake liners from $ store & saw dust. Melt old candles, I use what is left in the glass jars. Fill liners with saw dust, from cutting wood with chain saw. Pour melted wax until chips are pretty well covered. Let harden. These fire starters will burn for a long time, start the worse,wettest wood, under any conditions, on fire. If you do not feel the need for a single starter, they can be broken.
Here’s an even better idea- egg carton, wood shavings/sawdust, an empty can (tomato sauce, beans, peas etc) old wax and a pot. Fill pot with 2-3 inches of water. Bring to a bare simmer. Place can with wax on pot and slowly melt. Pack shavings/sawdust into egg carton. Pour over wax. Let harden and store in a zipper bag somewhere cool-ish. They’ll even burn when soaked in water, albeit harder to light
Love the simplicity of that. Toilet or kitchen paper would be better because those fibres from the tumble dryer would likely consist of both cotton and plastics, unless you only have natural fibres making up your clothing.
I've never had very good results with dryer lint. There are too many synthetic fabrics in our wardrobe, in addition to all of the stinky pet hair. I prefer cotton balls soaked in a 50/50 solution of melted paraffin wax and vaseline, wrapped in a piece of foil, like a chocolate kiss.
Does the fire become bigger from the wood or the wood spread out or what? I never made a fire before and wondering how you were able to make the fire bigger at the end of the video.
Have an even better hack. So backstory: here in South Africa making a wood fire and cooking/bbq in it is part of the culture and a weekly affair. So single use firelighters in a box you can buy at any store but reusable firelighters has become very popular. To make your own cheap reusable firelighters: Get some porous stone, like pumice stone that used for foot washing/scraping. Pop them in a liquid tight jar and fill it with kerosene/paraffin. It burns a lot hotter and longer than lint+wax so you can skip the tinder and directly start packing dry thin pieces of wood. After the fire is out, scrape them out of the ashes and back in the jar to resoak and reuse.
If you can find pinecones tho, they honestly work even better than that

my "strategy" is to pour gasoline all over the wood, then pour a gasoline line away from the bonfire, light the trail and run
gasoline evaporates, if you wait a minute and more before lighting it, the air will explode into your face.
@@decombatnfl3639 yeah, thats why i do it as quick as possible and run away from it as soon as i light it
same here. works every time, and it makes it way more fun
I don't even build a bonfire anymore, I just stuff a piece of cloth into my gas can and light the thing. Follow me for more
Fool we just do it from the source lighting the gasoline with our hands (Made a tutorial video)
If no lint, cotton balls work great too.

Amazing. Love these little hacks. Thank you!

Quick question, what is the reasoning behind pouring the candle wax?
it lets the lint burn a little longer to give extra time for the kindling to catch flame
@@Exulll ok thank you, that makes sense. 5 months later
This is so inventive I like the idea and style nice

No the poor car 😫😫
Just use straight dryer lint log lol

Yes I use cotton balls with Vaseline on it and it works great
Why not just put the candle under the kindling instead?
you could do that. The fire starter does produce a larger surface area of flame, and it doesn’t get put out by the wind as easily.

Or just out the tealight in there and take it out when the fire is done

Very simple and easy cool
If it takes forever to catch on fire, it isn’t a fire starter.
Wait but the fire for the cand-
doesn't lint have a bunch of plastic in it? given not everything you wash is 100% cotton or organic
What's that fluffy stuff you put in the egg carton cup please?
That’s lint that gets collected from a drying machine. Pretty flammable stuff
What can I use instead of dryer lint?
cotton balls, toilet paper, or sawdust
@@Exulll thanks a lot
Bro u put the match in with it, the fire wasnt burning on the lint 😂
This video makes survivalists look stupid.
Tic tac toe method lol
Me honestly thanks for the help I’ve been tryna light a fire😂🎉🎉🎉
Bounty fresh.
Why not just put the candle in there? Much simpler
May you please tell me what was that liquid you poured into the lint?
Candle wax
@@littlecampfires thank you 🙏
Make A Fire New that Good
Cooking oil is the best
Smart
Use a Doritoo …
Come on baby light my fire
Wouldn't it have been easier to just use the f'ing candle
What kind of wood? Sorry so dumb.
Bro just used the dutch ad background music
Let me try
nice
is that oil or kerosene?
It’s just candle wax
@@littlecampfires hahah
How to make a fire you need all this stuff and a lighter
Yeah, because I carry fucking dryer lint.
…the point is to get it from the dryer which sounds like a you problem if you don’t have it
Yknow why does every kid like to make fire
It kinda doesn’t count because you’re using fire
Some can’t light a fire with a match! And campfire wood most times need to be built up naturally if tire not using flammables
Wood
:D
Is a cheating
😢
