There is a never ending supply of fire starting techniques being passed around the prepper and survivalist community. After all, there are literally thousands of these tricks available to those who want to learn.
One of the reasons why there are so many hacks for fire starting, in particular, is because fire is so incredibly valuable to a survivor. With fire, they can fend off predators, cook a meal, stay warm, dry out their clothing, and also treat water.
All of these methods are essential if you're looking to survive for any length of time.
Get ready to learn about another trick that'll allow you to store a good amount of fire starting materials (cotton balls and petroleum jelly) within a compact container that can be easily opened and closed. Plus, it has several uses rather than just one, which is usually what a single fire starter hack would have.
Check out this great trick on how to use it to your advantage (with the help of a straw), on the next page.
