FIRE STARTERS.

Dried-out tea bags dipped in kerosene are another safe way to start a fire. Better than pouring kero and standing clear of the flame whish.

Could have been listed previously.

Have done same but with diesel ('cos that's what we carry).

By far the best fire starter I've ever used is spinifex.

I was recently offered a box of left over hand sanitiser, a few squirts make excellent fire lighter.

I like using egg cartoon, I find breaking them up is a great way to get the fire burning.

We use Jiffy's, and two sticks.

I make sure one of them is a match.
