Tinder Cups

Paper condiment cup, commercial sawmill hardwood sawdust, parafin wax. I took this pic before dipping half a cotton ball in the melted wax and using the hot wax to adhere the cotton ball to the top. Fluff the cotton ball and one good spark from a ferro rod and you'll have a prolonged(at least 15 minutes) flame that is hot enough to get even damp kindling going well. I can provide these to tribe members premade or the sawdust in a one gallon ziplock bag. If you want to make them from scratch. PM me if interested.
