Strike a light

[Prepaday]

Today I tried one of my preps, A tip I have read many a time I took out one of my cotton wool balls that have been soaked in Vaseline for a week.
Wow did that stuff burn Stuck a few dry twigs on top and hay presto..I had a small fire
I know have 3 lipsalve tubes containing Vaseline soaked cotton wool balls in my BOB, Hardly take up any room and they could be a life saver. I won't tell you how my trying to light a fire with 2 sticks went, Needless to say I need LOADS more practice.
