Travel Tip #6: Fire Starter

If you are planning on going camping this summer, don’t forget to bring dryer lint! Yes, I said dryer lint. Some time ago, I read online about how dryer lint is a great fire starter. So over the winter, I found a use for all those oatmeal cardboard containers and filled them with lint emptied from our dryer. And I was able to test out the effectiveness while camping over the weekend. And sure enough, lint is, indeed, a great fire starter! Especially if you forget to feed the fire with more wood and it starts to go out. Just toss in some lint and the fire comes right back!
