if you ever needed easy, super flammable tinder, look no further! i used a bunch of these to get some damp wood going the other night and thought i'd share

WARNING: THIS SHIT IS SUPER FLAMMABLE- DON'T FUCK AROUND WITH IT

to make them you'll need water, sugar, potassium nitrate stump remover, and cottonballs/rags/whatever will soak up water. heat your water up in and old can and slowly add the stump remover (crush if pellets are large, it helps to dissolve) and sugar in equal parts. don't add the ingredients seperately at different times, add small handfuls at the same time and stop adding when it no longer dissolves. dip your cottonballs/cloth and set out to air dry. as long as they don't get wet the smallest spark will make them burn VIGOROUSLY, and they should last indefinitely in a ziploc

at first i thought it was some clever/metaphorical, innuendo-riddled advice for a dating profile...

Potassium Nitrate and Sugar is commonly used as a DIY hobby rocket fuel or sometimes in DIY smoke grenades. Its fun shit to mess around with.

I like to collect paper birch bark. It's natural, not messy like pine sap, and it doesn't get ruined or loose its efficacy if it gets wet.
