What can surprise us, you might wonder, about fire tinder? How about a tinder that, by itself, burns for near thirty minutes! Who would have thought! Take a look:
Who doesn’t have the things shown in the above video? If you have children you will always have pencil shavings. If you have a gas dryer, you know lint is always there on the tray and that toilet paper role…?!
Even though our host had camera problems we think this is a wonderfully creative idea for a long-lasting and truly usable fire tinder hack!

I have been making fire starters like this for a few years, here is a video I made a while back on making them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=921TlTtfKYg&t=78s
good ideas
If you have a gas dryer or you will have lint, o as it my fucking electric dryer doesn’t have any dumbass
Crack a flashlight lightbulb without damaging the elemint, and you have a lighter.
1: your comment makes no sense…. 2: an electric dryer has gets lint also.
EXACTLY…
UNDER THE VIDEO IT SAYS

The word “hack” really has lost all meaning
Spit it the hell out damn it! You should drink some red bull or something!
Yep, friend of mine been making them for yrs, saw dust and wax in card board egg cartons. Of I remember right saw dust has a little diesel fuel in it.
This is great. I am in a mountain unit that is in the mountains all the time. We need a way to make a fire that will light quick so we can boil water. This is quick efficient and small enough to throw in your pack. Thanks.
Graphite uses more energy to oxidize than it gives off. Many forms of carbon burn nicely, but do NOT include graphite in your firestarters.
Got about a hundred of those made up and stored for future use.
If your gonna pack them around all the time why not just pack a small bottle of cooking oil around works great for starting camp fires without going through all the trouble?
Great idea but where will we get the ingredients from after shtf? Why would anyone add that much weight to be carried around? A zippo lighter, lighter fluid, and flints would be better but they have plenty of other alternatives.
Use cotton balls and vasoline. Less weight
Cool!
To the original poster…..why are you blown away and why is this a “hack”…?
Too long..
