1 Minute Duct Tape Fire Starter

In this Instructable, you will learn how to create a fire starter like pictured above.

This should be practically free for all of your materials and should take less than a minute if you try.

If built right it should stay lit for seven minutes!!!!

Materials-

-Duct Tape (The Best Stuff on Earth)

-Dryer Lint (Can be collected from a dryer, not a lot needed maybe 1/4 cup)

 -Char Cloth (5 or 6 1" by 1" square pieces of char cloth) Don't know how to make char cloth? Watch this Youtube video or view this Instructable.
OR
-Regular Cotton (Note that this can't ignite by just a spark)

The duct tape will make a large enough flame, the lint will keep the fire going, and the char cloth makes the flame last long.

Rip or cut a 6" piece of duct tape.

Roll up duct tape with a diameter of 1.5". Make sure the sticky side is on the outside.

Shove lint into roll of duct tape.

Cover outside with Char cloth.

If you don't have a flame source, then spark the char cloth and blow on it until it ignites.

If you have a flame source, then light a little bit of the duct tape.

Now you can build another one and really use it in the wilderness.

By the way, this one stayed lit for seven minutes, well long enough to start a fire.
