Campfire Starters that Never Fail

Packing materials to start a fire is often forgotten or messy. I have come up with a fire starter that works every time and can be stored in your camp box for years if needed. Go to your local cabinet shop and ask for a coffee can full of saw dust from under their table. Upon arriving home melt a cube of wax. Put saw dust in a paper bag. When the wax is melted over very low heat, pour over saw dust and shake bag well. Once mixed, press the mixture into paper egg cartons. Make sure the mixture is pressed firmly in to each egg holder and as full as possible. (Wetting your hand prior to pressing will keep wax off your hands be careful not to burn yourself) Let cool. Cut egg carton in individual egg holders. Each fire starter will burn a good 10 minutes and only requires one match to light.
