The Best Tinder

[Mongrel]

Go with the Silver birch, use it daily to light wood stove, find it better than even commerial fire lighters. just unroll it of my logs before I throw them in the burn that way I've always got a good dry stack!.

luckily im surrounded by silver birch within a 10 min walk of my bugout.

but its always handy to have an alternative.
I might have to move.

might not b tinder but one i'm liking is to melt a candle then get cotton wool balls and dip them in the wax. when there hard all u need to do is scratch the surface and pull out a small amount of cotton as a wick, light, balance and u have a slow burning "cotton ball candle" lol. you can also put a small amount of petro jelly in the centre so it burns for longer.
