I know true /out/ists only start fires using flaming farts & blazing spits, but hey, not everyone can be hardcore*
As we all know most of those "lifehack" & "tricks" vids are retarded, but I wanted to try out this thing I saw In one of them.
It's a WD40 soaked wool locked in a Kinder Surprise container (are those really banned in USA?)
I started a fire using one on the weekend, It worked surprisingly well.
But I wanted to make sure the liquid doesn't evaporate overtime, wasn't sure about how well the seal holds, so I tested it again today, 3 days after making one.
Again, the flame was yellow, very strong too, lasted for +6 minutes, despite bad environment (windage: 28km/h, temp: -6C).
The thing burned completely, leaving almost no trace like Esbit tablets.
I will definitely use them again.
They do take some space, but are very light. Also, I think it burned for so long because it's not 100% cotton wool, but a viscose-cotton mix, synthetic fabric probably burns longer than natural.
