Fire Starting Tip

Cotton balls soaked in vaseline make for a long slow burn.  Light weight and flammable.  Ran into a group on the AT who were using this technique to get their fires going.

Can also be helpful on those chaffed body parts.

  1. Just saw Survivorman use this method to start a fire in his Labrador, Canada episode. He used a metal striker and it went up surprisingly fast. Very cool.
