DIY Dryer Lint Fire Starter : Upcycled Fire Starters

Күн бұрын

This is a tutorial of how to make a great practically free fire starter made out of items that would normally be thrown away. The toilet paper sized roll fire starter will burn for 4-5 minutes and the paper towel roll sized starter will burn 8-9 minutes. These are great for camping, your fireplace, or as an addition to a bug out bag.
to make these you will need:
-cardboard rolls from paper towels or toilet paper
-dryer lint
-wax paper

Add melted paraffin to the lint and tube saw them into one inch chunks works better and water proof. Out just use paper egg carton with dryer line and paraffin then cut apart

To make a bigger fire, you don’t need a bigger fire starter; you just need to put more wood on the fire once it’s going. Really, the wax paper by itself can be used to light some small kindling.

Very true.

The wax paper makes it water proof in case it rains when camping and this is all about recycling.

@@easyprepper101 u can also make one that lasts one hour. Cut a piece of cardboard in long strip then roll into circular piece and put it in a aluminium can like soda can (cut out the bottom part of it and place in that) or make a cup using tin foil and put it in that and make sure the cardboard is secured (add hot glue to hold it in one piece) then put it in the container (tin foil cup or soda can) then melt candle and pour the hot wax on the rolled cardboard and let it sit for 24-48 hrs then light it on fire ( this lasts easily for 1 hour) its pretty good and even strong winds dont easily blow it out.
