No Fire Starter? No Problem

There are some items that can be found in pretty much every household. The first is a handy tub of Vaseline, and the second is a jar of cotton balls. You never know when you will need to dab at something with one of those. There are a lot of situations that require starting a fire, and sometimes there is no kindling to be found anywhere. If there is no kindling in sight, just grab a cotton ball and some Vaseline.

Drench the cotton ball in Vaseline and light it on fire underneath the wood that needs to be lit. The Vaseline will make it burn longer than normal, and the wood will catch in no time.
