The Best Tinder

RE: The Best Tinder
in jail we learned to make something called a wick lighter.
never thought jail would come in usefull, but its surprising where you learn usefull stuff.

A wick lighter is a small tube from a biro cut into two halves, and taped together side by side.
in one tube you put the wheel from a clipper lighter.
in the other tube you take a string from a clean mop and stuff it up the tube.
now with just a little bit of the mop string exposed you roll the lihter wheel slowly for 4 or 5 turns to get some of the fillings onto the mop string.
the n you flick the lighter wheel to cause a spark
the mop string ignites and glows. a few gently blows and you have an ember that can light a fire.

the problem with things like Vaseline and mop wicks etc. is eventually there will be none.
we need a good tinder that nature provides.

cotton wool balls are the same, they will eventually run out

looks like il be sticking with sliver birch as there is a plentifull supply of it near me.
its a very common tree here.
