    Default The Best Tinder

    This works so well, that it's how I build a fire in my wood stove every morning. Cheating? Maybe, but I don't care.

    I go to a buddies who does woodwork and get all his cedar planer shavings.
    There ain't too many problems you can't fix with $500 or a 30-06.

    One on my "go to's" has been excelsior the shredded wood shaving found in packing material, and old stuffed furniture.

    Example

    http://www.uline.com/BL_1972/Excelsi...Q&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Got a bunch from an old leather chair that I salvaged the leather, and brass tacks....the excelsior was inside....so salvaged that as well.

    Still have some left, .....use it as a tinder bundle for flint(rock) and steel fire starting contests.....Stuff must have been dried for 100years.

    This is a well kept secret....

    Just the opposite in my neck o' the woods...fatwood is everywhere.
    I need to send you some shavings.
    When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!

    Dang...must be mixed with pixie dust and unicorn hair...

    I believe I can ship a gallon sized Ziploc baggie of fatwood shavings a lot cheaper (CONUS of course).

    *Edit*
    That is not an advertisement.
    Don't have the prerequisite 100 posts to sell on this forum.
