I use dryer lint or cotton balls and Vaseline. Just a spark is all it takes.

Dryer lint, old crayons and saw dust in a cupcake liner, bake it in the oven for a little bit so the crayons melt and then let it set up in the cupcake liner. That's what I do. of course I have a lot of raggedy broken crayons from when my kids were little.

Fritos work pretty good. lol

I use cotton balls and dryer lint soaked with vaseline. Started a fire from a spark at 10 deg. Kept it all in an old pill bottle. Strongly recommend.

I have made my own and will continue to do so when bored, just as I use different lighting techniques.
A lot of the store bought stuff and a lighter work just as good while giving me more time to e-scout, make sausage, etc.

I practice my flint and steel on starters in the fire pit.

I’ve seen the dryer lint in cut up egg cartons with wax on top before. It works well.
