Great fire starter
Mix wood shavings (type of wood doesn't matter) with wax in a coffee can and mix it until its thick. Pack this mixture into a discarded toilet paper tube and add a birthday candle to each end. When the wax hardens cut the tube in half (not down the middle)and you will have two fire starters.
Just light the candle wick to start the fire.
The really good things about this fire starter is it burns for about 30 minutes and it works even after its been soaked with water.
