There are a lot of fire starting tricks being passed on throughout the prepper and survivalist community. There are literally thousands of these tricks available to those who are willing to learn them.
The reason for this is because fire is so incredibly valuable for the survivor. With fire, you can fend off predators, cook meals, stay warm, dry out clothing, and treat water.
All of these are absolutely essential if you're endeavoring to survive for any length of time.
Now we have another trick that allows you to store a fair amount of fire starting material (cotton balls and petroleum jelly) within a compact container that can be opened and closed to get several uses, rather than just the one use that a typical fire starter hack would have.
Learn this great trick on the next page.
