Dryer lint is something just about all of us have to deal with at least on a weekly basis.
Most survivalists have used dryer lint and toilet paper tubes as a fire-starter for years, but one major complaint is that the lint is so flammable and dry it burns incredibly fast.
Light a ball of lint and you will get an instantaneous ignition – that lasts only a few seconds – not enough in good conditions, let alone bad, to actually light a tinder bundle in most cases.
Light the toilet paper tube and lint set up and it burns somewhat slower, but the situation has to be ideal to get a good fire started.
By adding hybrid ingredients to your lint, however, you can make your fire starter ignite hot and burn slow, allowing time for the fire to actually ignite a bundle of tinder.
The video on the next page demonstrates this amazing fire starting idea. Check it out!
