Carrying a great fire starter that's reliable can be a lifesaver. When it's wet and windy out, a fire can be hard to start if you're not prepared. This DIY fire starter might be just the solution you need to start a fire in less-than-ideal situations. It's lightweight, has a long burn time, and holds a steady flame in windy conditions. Since it uses petroleum jelly, it also resists water and keeps your tinder dry.
