I've been playing around with different ideas of diy fire starters that I can carry in abundance at a light weight. I've had some bad luck in the past with matches due to my own incompetence or just shit luck and bad days.
The one I'm most fond of is using a few twisted together qtips dipped in wax a couple of times. Singular qtips were nice but they didn't burn as intensely or as long, coming in at around an almost 3 minute burn time for the twisted ones. Am I trying to reinvent the wheel here or do you guys think they would actually be useful/something worth carrying?
