I want to know how to make my own tinders, because it's very hard to find them here in Brazil<br>Thanks for help!!<br><br>

If you mean easy to light fire starting materials, thats easy. Vaseline and cotton. Mix them up well and put them in a double baggie. In a pinch, lip balm and "pocket fuzz" work well too.<br><br>

Scraps of tire are amazing, the work even when wet! (duh!!)<br><br>

www.pioneerpc.com/wildernessway has readers contributions for dozens of tinder formulas.This is the website for Wilderness Way magazine.You could make kindling from the home of those who destroy your rainforests.Chico Mendes lives!<br><br>

Take dryer lint or fuzzy stuff of some kind, tie a string around a clump of the stuff. Then melt parriffin wax and dip the clump into the wax. A piece the size of your thumb will burn about 10-15 minutes.<br><br>

Just a word of caution. If your drier lint is largely polyester, you're apt to have trouble. Better to use cotton lint.<br><br>Better yet, a strip of bicycle inner tube. I cut several large "rubber band" rings out of an old tube, and stretch over<br>my pocket survival kit. Stinks, but lights wet or dry. (Of course, won't catch a spark from flint-type firestarters).<br><br>

Thanks, didn't know that. I usually just grabbed whatever was in the lint trap, but most of our clothes are cotton anyway.<br><br>
