[QUOTE="Marble, post: 981461, member: 51354"] Instead of the Vaseline cotton balls I use drier lint. I keep a plastic grocery bag full and one paper egg carton. I melt some paraffin wax in a jar and pour it into the lint as it sits in the egg carton. I pack the wax in with a wooden utensil of whatever is available. I then cut the egg carton up with the cardboard portion sticking to the outside of the wax/lint mixture. I just throw them in the bottom of my pack. They burn a good size flame for 22-25 minutes. Sometimes I will slice a piece off to start a fire. I tend be slightly paranoid about having extra gloves, socks, fire sources, light sources, replacement batteries and radios. I wear enough clothes to not be cold when moving and enough to layer up and be warm all night if needed. [/QUOTE]
