How about Vaseline and cotton balls as a fire starter?
@@DEATH-THE-GOAT my wife has one of those wax melting scent things in the bathroom. Once the smell has worn out I dip cotton balls in it on one side and then vaseline on the other side. All three components are conveniently located right there in the bathroom already!
The upside is they smell nice when you light them!
@@rjstewart that was some great advice. I was only thinking of lighting a fire, you made me think of the beauty in simplicity to make us feel more human again.
We don't just need shelter, warmth and water, we need beaut, poetry, pleasent smells of roses, pine resin, rosemary and good food and drink.
was talked to my brother about prepping and how to survive. He is aa artist, painter, and an architect. He don't like to hear about "the end of the world" and "Armageddon". So I quoted President John Adams
*_"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."_*
He answered "I don't wanna learn about survivalism and war"
_"That's why I do it so you can study archetectur, painting and poetry"_
But he's a foolheaded person so I don't think he got the message.
Which is "I bear the burden of human evil so you can be free and enjoy life". Even if Jesus died for our sins, he could never bear the burden of the evil of human free will, if you want to put it in a religious context.
@@rjstewart sorry for the rant
Could you also add gel hand sanitizer to the mix. I'm thinking it might improve consistency a bit without negatively affecting flammability. 🤔🤓🍻
Filling tip me wife spouted off as I was viewing: dump paste into sandwich bag, clip lower corner so has a smaller than bottle opening, and squeeze paste through hole into bottle. This is one of her cake decorating hacks! She’s awesome, and as great of a wood crafter and carver as she is baker!! God be thanked for great women!
Sure, that would be a quick and easy way to fill it up.
Great idea we used to take sawdust mixed with kerosene and paraffin wax in the old cardboard egg carton , fill each spot coat in wax let dry boom tear one off at a time light and burn .
That's an excellent application as well!
I was thinking of sawdust while viewing this video.
Bamn - that’s what I do & give an egg carton full to friends for a perfect “I care about your survival” gift. I also fill toilet paper roll tubes the same way. Some full, some cut in half. Outstanding fire starter. I am a machinist as well & will add filings & scraps to the mix & my god do they burn.
@@paulbalogh4582 When everything else won't start, a metal fire still won't stop.
We do dryer lint and wax in egg cartons. Love the cheap and kid friendly boy scouts recipes of old. Way Point is my favorite for these ideas.
Here is a suggestion for filling the bottle. Spoon the mix in to a pastry bag then squeeze into the bottle. Thanks for sharing this. Good idea.
Yes, or you can use just a generic plastic bag of some sort.
@@WayPointSurvival exactly! Fill the bag, clip a corner and you have a DIY pastry bag.
Great tip James! For the really cheap and really lazy, a tube of Vaseline may work just as well. That's what I use to ensure quick drafting in my wood stove. You can find it hanging with the lip balm at any store.
Yes. That works too!
That's what I use. I get a prescription bottle, look inside make sure the cap has a rubber gasket, some don't have that it and it wont be air tight. Anyways, put some small cotton balls inside along with some vaseline and put it in your car on a warm day and the vaseline will get absorbed by the cotton balls. I never timed it but it burns for quite a while and I never needed more than one ball to start a fire.
@@HoopyAmero Wow, a plussed-up version! I'm definitely trying that. Thanks Amero!
@@HoopyAmero
For cotton - "eco/organic/100%cotton" tampons.
Tightly packed, usually waterproof ..
Good for starting fire even without vaseline.
@@HoopyAmero Same. I got the idea from Sootch's channel. Super easy to carry and light. It is part of my "Be prepared" plan for fires when the trusty Zippo or Bic alone just isn't enough in certain conditions.
Just as cheap, equally effective and less stinky: mix equal amounts of fine sawdust and Crisco (shortening). I find a small glop of that smeared into a pine cone (or directly on a bunch of twigs) is a great go-to. Or, just keeping the Crisco straight works great as well using the pine cone trick. The advantage there is you have prime material for fire starting, making a survival candle AND having a great cooking grease.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
Best thing about this is the redundancy of your body being able produce heat by eating the crisco. In a true emergency you need to carry calories to survive. I have corn chips in my car. You can eat them or burn them. I might change to Frito flavor twist - good shape for fire starting.
@@johnmoore5293 Fritos do burn and burn well! Certainly a notch or two more nutritious and better tasting than eating pure vegetable shortening! I had to look that one up, and veggie shortening does pack about 110 cal per tablespoon. The downside is the absolute lack of any other nutritional value. Although if I'm lacking in calories, that Crisco might be a thing to keep you going an extra day.
Still stinks.
Vaseline infused cotton balls in a baggie or rigid tube container.
Always works even soaking wet, chap stick substitute, quickie water repellent for small things, burns hot, never takes much to get going. Use what you like of course, but the Vaseline/cotton ball is so elegantly simple and cheap without all the stink of kerosene.
Yes, but the Crisco is less flammable in extreme cold. I used some with a wick as candles to heat my beehives, but a hard frost also puts the candle out when the Crisco forms a hard shell.
Great idea 💡 👍
If you add ½ ounce petroleum jelly to the mixture, you find that the fire starter will extrude more like tooth paste.
Great point!
I like that you use ash and not sawdust. In my case, I very often have ash but quite seldom sawdust. I think it's really very simplistic that's why I love the method that you've shown! Thank you :)
You're welcome!
For those of us who have wood pellets around, they are simply compressed sawdust. I thought of that while watching the "DIY Fuel Tab" video.
Hello my friend, watching from Ginatilan Cebu Philippines 🇸🇽
Excellent!
Wonderful to see viewership from the Philippines increasing. We watch from our retirement location Luzon island, Bulacan province
Cool idea. Sometimes the need to get a fire started quickly outweigh the opportunity of striking it in any other bushcrafting method.
True. Thanks for watching!
I feel the same about fero rods. In an actual survival situation you may be wet and shaking and heading toward hypothermia.
I’m of the mentality that it’s good to know and practice bushcraft fire making but if I NEED a fire I need it NOW. I’ll pull out a lighter and petroleum jelly and make a quick tinder pile and get warm.
Man this is awesome ! Some of the tubes they have to buy that are pre made are like 10-15$ so this way you can get a few pound for the price of a gallon of kerosene. Always giving ideas for people that don’t have money to throw away at gimmicks although they do work just way over priced. Thanks for sharing James .
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Can't have to many fire starting tips, you never know when and where you may need it. Good video, I'll add it to my bag of tricks.
Glad you liked it!
Never would have thought of using ash as a distributing medium for anything much less a fire starter! Thanks for sharing James.
Thanks, I thought it was pretty cool myself when I learned about it!
Can you use ash from wood stove.
@@Peter-od7opyes as long as it’s dried out and find powdered any wood ash will work.
@@jedidiahhendricks8572 ty for the reply
@steveturner3999: Look up something called a Rudiger roll
I will have to try this out! I have been making my own firestarter cubes out of sawdust, dryer lint and paraffin for years.
Excellent, glad you liked it!
Dryer lint and old Vaseline or Vicks
Petroleum jelly is my choice. Who has a can of kerosene sitting around.
@@3345646 Diesel is pretty close to kerosene, but I haven't tried it... yet.
I think this is a better and safer idea. Thanks
Thanks for the tip. Just a fyi once your paste is made you can put it in a zip loc lunch bag and cut a corner off to make it easier to put into the silicone container and its a lot cleaner. Just a thought if one was going to make more then one at a time.
Good idea. Just be aware that kerosene is also a solvent and could pretty rapidly make the plastic bag deteriorate.
Good idea! I didn't read yours first.
Man, glad he gave the tip about using your stirring stick to push it in the tube.. life saver
And kerosene is hard to find, and $5 a gallon....get the same effect for $1.25 with Vaseline or lip balm from dollar tree.
Not really, there's no comparison between the way that vaseline and lip balm burns and the way kerosene burns. Very different BTU output.
I once used a "fire paste" that was only the fishing reel grease tube that I had on my fishing tackle. It saved the day!
Excellent!
My personal preference is either vasoline- or wax-soaked cotton balls or pads! And of course, tea candles because if you only need a little light than one (plus) will do. Adding a cotton ball or pad on top of the tea candle makes it stove fuel (good with Esbit stoves as well as canteen cup stoves) or a much brighter candle ( though shorter lived)!
Yes, that's another way to get it done.
I always carry vaseline and cotton balls in my hunting kit. It has worked for me for decades!
We used to mix kerosene with sawdust into a paste. It was very effective at starting a fire with wet wood. Never thought to use ash but I can see that it would work just as well.
Yes, I'm sure there are several different items that would work as a proper base for the kerosene. I've also heard of using flour.
Black ash is often charcoal white fly ash won't burn anymore
@@ericwhite3526 seems to me he used white ash
That reminds me of my grandfather's fire starter. He owned a dry cleaning business and he would bring home a coffee can full of lint that was saturated with the dry cleaning fluid.
That's a pretty cool idea. I had no idea that it was flammable. I knew that dryer lint is but not the fluid.
Another great tip James, thank you very much! It's awesome that you try your viewers suggestions, especially giving them a shout out! This is one of the best fire starting hacks that I've seen, very simple yet really effective!!
Thanks. I often learn a lot from my viewers and students and although I can't always remember which one it was I do like to give them credit when I can.
This is a good one, James. Hitting the ground running for the New Year, I see. Wouldn't have expected anything less from you. Have a great year.
Thanks so much! Hope your new year is great as well!
Number of views is showing the dedication pays off.
James, great video, I have just about every video you have made saved, and have used most of what you have taught. Survival is a forgotten skill by most of the people you meet on the street every day. If and when the time comes the more people who have that skill, and are able to impart the knowledge to others the better.
Wow, thanks so much!
I did this about 25 years ago, haven't done it in a long time. I kept it in a mink oil can. Even if it dries out, it'll still light. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, James Bender. Great idea.
Thanks!
This seems like a great idea for emergencies when a fire is needed quickly and you can make it at home. You've got yourself a new subscriber.
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
sawdust instead of ash works well. It may absorb more kerosene than ash (I've never used ash) so I'd let it soak in a covered container for a day or to before loading the tube. I've just kept it in a tightly covered container with a little scoop and add more kerosene if it gets crumbly. Some people do the same thing with paraffin and form it into egg cartons, but that's a lot more work than kerosene. Diesel can be used instead of kerosene, but it has more smell.
Yes, I've even heard of people using flour as a base.
Terrific idea thanks a lot
For a home location, put a couple of inches of kerosene into a number 10 tin can, stand up corncobs into the can, with one end in the liquid. The cobs absorb kerosene and will start fires readily.

Very cool trick! Thanks!
I have used fine pine shavings for this. These days, I just carry a can of Sterno.
Yes, that works fine.
Very well made and great easy instructions sir. Never thought of this before!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Thanks for the advice
You're welcome!
Just gets better and better outstanding work
Thanks so much!
Great video thanks. My favorite backpacking and canoeing stove is my old Optimus 8R. The only problem with it is that in the 70s when I bought them you could buy tubes of starter, you put some of the starter paste in the bottom of the stove to heat the burner which would then draw fuel from the tank without pressure. I've been carrying cans of sterno as starter. It's minus 15 degrees today so this will be a good day to try this. Looking forward to following your site.
Thanks so much!
I have used the Optimus for over 40 years. The paste would be good but I have always used an eye dropper of fuel from the tank. Noisy stoves!
Methy hydrate in a little squeeze bottle works great for my Optimus 8 and 111
Awesome video as always thank you for making it 👍
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Yes works good. I used to do that to light the wood chip water heater on my ex's family farm.
Indeed.
Another "tool" for any woodsman. Thanks for sharing.
Always good 👍 videos. So much fun to watch and always enjoy learning ☺️
Thanks!
Hi WaypointSurvival,
instead of Kerosene you could use Parafin, melt and mix it with the Sawdust, put into Icecube-Tray and let them set, these blocks can be transported in a Zip-Loc Bag.
Greetings from Germany
Yes, indeed!
Brilliant - I recall another old video where the author made these fire starters with compressed sawdust - but course this is so much better & in an emergency will get a fire going instantly. We have all been caught out where we need an instant fire for safety or warmth.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.
Great info James and of course those tubes are great for so many things!
I would like to request that you use closed captioning for your videos. I'm hard of hearing and have to listen with the volume up so high that it disturbs others. Appreciate it!
You can turn on the closed captioning yourself at the bottom of the screen period just click the CC tab.
The CC button, when pushed, says 'CC not available for this video'. FYi
@@WayPointSurvival I have my captions on; I belive you have to turn something on as well.
Ok
Thanks for this
Wow, I learned something today. I've never heard of fire paste. Great job.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Vaseline works great stand alone
Sure. A lot of people use that, including myself.
@@WayPointSurvival my stash is cotton balls and Vaseline for emergencies
Love your channel. Great tips and tricks ✌️
I have a small zipp-lock bag with cotton balls covered with some Vaseline....
@@pluisnonplux9728 dryer lint works great too. It’s free ✌️
Just a word to the wise: it’s important to pay attention to how those tops screw back on the silicone containers, because while they are intended to be leakproof, if the silicone rim of the tube is squashed under just that bit too much pressure once the cover goes on, they can leak pretty badly. So maybe give it a quick squeeze once the cover is on to make sure that you don’t end up with combustible paste contaminating the contents of your pack.
Good point!
Thank you Waypoint Survival and our Philippine friends. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Tried this with the charcoal dust from bottom of empty kingsford bag mixed in worked very well
Excellent!
What an awesome idea. I was kind of wondering if maybe you used sawdust the fine type of sawdust along with the Ashes to help keep it together and maybe it would burn longer I think I may try that but I'm definitely going to do the one with ashes you're so clever James to pay attention to what suggestions you get. Thanks again for a great idea. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay vigilant my friend!
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you and yours as well!
Sounds like an interesting idea.
I'm curious if the kerosene could break down the silicone and/or plastic over time.
Let us know if that container holds up over time.
Silicone is fairly impervious to oils and things of that nature so I'm fairly sure it will be just fine for a very long time. However, as another viewer stated, a small jar could also work and I suggested a baby food jar would probably be an ideal size.
@@WayPointSurvival
Right on.
I'm have to give that a try.
Silicone, no worries. Most plastics, some, but if you replace it every couple years rather than decades, you'll be fine.
Much respect to you give credit for this great idea to the Philippines. I too enjoy the ingenuity that comes from not having ‘things’ on-hand. SE Asia and S America are goldmines for ingenuity.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Great tip also is a peace of cedar like the size of a soap bar. Fits in any pocket, split it, shave it or both. All but takes a spark instantly. Split down and soaked in wax, instant fire sticks.
Indeed.
Thanks again for another good tip. I like how you pass info on from others and give them credit. Have a great and safe New Year.
Thanks so much, you too!
That’s a “Hot” idea !!! Love it Buddyman!
Thanks!
🤣
My soon to be father-in-law from the Philippines showed me this method. Indeed they absoultely do this in the Philippines. Great video. Thank you sir. This is my first time watching a video on your channel. I am joining today so I can be notified when you post another video. Have a great day everyone.
Thanks for watching and welcome aboard!
Thanks for the vid. Always looking for new ideas for fire starters. Just made a bunch of the cotton make-up pads soaked with paraffin and lighter fluid. They work great also. Will even ignite quickly with my ferro rod.
Sounds great!
That's a cool idea! I wonder if you could use hand sanitizer gel instead of kerosene. I've used alcohol prep pads before but they burn up fairly quick.
the hand sanitizer would burn faster because it is made from alcohol (usually anyway)
The problem with hand sanitizer is that it's alcohol-based and evaporates pretty rapidly. Kerosene is quite oily and takes a long time to evaporate.
But due to the alcohol, the gel starts to burn with a single spark of a firesteel.
(That just sparked an idea i have to try out: how easy do those single packaged cleaning wipes for glasses ignite when hit with a spark... As someone wearing glasses i try to always have a few in my backpack, and they are packaged so no evaporation happens)
I'm a diabetic so I always have alcohol prep pads. They work if you hit them with a spark.
Nice idea
Hand sanitizer is cheap and easy. Works very well!
It does. The higher of an alcohol content it has, the better it works as a fire starter.
Thanks for teaching me new skills
Thanks for watching!
I’ve always just used a shoe polish can with Styrofoam and gasoline mix pull out the melted Styrofoam, but in the shoe shine can pull out with a stick and light works just as well as napalm

I'm surprised I never thought of that. I will use this method. Much appreciated. By the way my mother's family is from Athens Ohio. beautiful area.
Thanks Jimmy!
Thanks for watching.
Great video, fast and easy recipe I never would have thought of to make my own fire-paste. I have not used kerosene for anything in years so I'll have to get some but the hardwood ash is not problem since I use my fire ring just about every week. Thanks for sharing this video, good job!
Great, glad you liked it!
That was very helpful I’m going to use it to start my brushfire here at my house that would make it a lot safer thank you
Great, thanks for watching!
That’s pretty good, I typically use cotton balls smeared with vaseline.
I’ll have to add this one to the fire kit.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Brilliant. I even have some of those types of containers already.
Great!
❤ thank you very much for sharing your ideas and knowledge happy holidays❤
Same to you!
Another great vid!
I carry a travel size tube if petroleum jelly in my kit. Good for your lips or cheek in the cold and also for starting a fire.
Yes. That works well too.
Great work James
Thanks!
Another great idea! Thanks James.
Glad you liked it!
Another winner. Good stuff sir.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this "Fire Paste" recipe, brother.
Thanks for watching!
Wish we could smack that like button more than once. Two ideas in one video. 1. I have never seen those neat little silicone travel bottles. Back when I did vacation-visa runs, I traveled light going out, purchasing what we needed on arrival. We then loaded my empty sea bag with items we purchased for the return flight home. We purchase gelled alcohol chafing dish fuel in bulk containers for our young troops to practice with their Esbit-style folding stoves. The fuel is loaded into small recycled dish detergent plastic bottles and dispensed into assorted sizes of aluminum bottle caps and small tins depending on how much fuel is needed. My first thought is how much of an improvement these silicone bottles would be in your backpack. 2. Now, where have I been? I have lived in Bulacan province, Philippines for eleven years and counting, and never have I seen anyone make this firestarter paste. That includes the Philippine-based camping and outdoor channels I have found so far. We have K1, and we have an assortment of ashes for practicing fire-rolling, David West style. I guess we are good to go. James, thank you for the post man, you taught this old dag two new tricks today.
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful! Thanks for the great comment.
Hi James! As per usual, a practical tip. Thanks and Happy New Year!
Thanks for watching and happy New Year to you as well, my friend!
Great idea! Something worth adding to an emergency kit.
Definitely!
I grew up in a house heated by a woodstove. My mother would take the charcoal and ashes, once cooled, and put it in a coffee can, pound it a bit to make the chunks smaller, then, she would add lamp oil till it was a smooth paste, and we used that to quickly start fires in our stove. I used to fill old shoe polish tins, or even short Mason jars, to pack this mix into the backcountry when I was hunting, to make quick fires in even the wettest weather. Great video.
Excellent. Lamp oil is just a more highly refined form of kerosene and smokes even less. Thanks for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival yes, my mother used It instead of regular kerosene to help not soot her chimney.
In a lot of South America a piece of car tire rubber is carried and a small chunk is cut off and used as a fire starter. Works surprisingly well, and you don't have the issue of kerosine being carried around (even in a paste form).
Yes. Some folks use pieces of rubber inner tube for that as well.
Have plenty of ash from the pit . Definitely need to try this . Thanks for the info. Have a great evening
Excellent, you too!
Great idea! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great tip. Thanks a lot. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome idea. Thank you so much for sharing this
You are so welcome!
Good Tip. Those are handy containers. To fill it I might craft a piping bag from a rolled piece of paper or plastic bag.
Yes, you could do that. However, remember that kerosene is also a solvent so a plastic bag might not hold up too long.
Looks like a great idea. I settled though on cotton wool balls soaked in melted petroleum jelly. Easiest way I’ve found
Thanks. A lot of people use petroleum jelly and cotton balls also. It's a favorite standard for a lot of folks.
Very good info
Thanks
Great Idea !!
Thanks!
Hi great idea , I've saved saw dust and that should work the same. cheers good to know .
Thanks for watching!
Neat idea. Used to know a guy that would take old bicycle inner tube, cut into a long thin strip into his woods gear as a fire starter. Whenever he needed one, he would cut a small piece and light it like you did here. He claimed it worked well under most conditions.
Yes, that is indeed a great emergency fire starter.
What a great idea
Thank you! 😊
Very cool what an awesome idea
Thanks!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
