Paper Fire Starter/Kindling Bag

Hi! I haven't being posting for some time. I have a few unfinished projects in queue, but who knows when I'm going to finish them. So here's a little simple thing for now. It's something I came up with today on my brothers birth day. We were making some BBQ and some shishkebab and I made this kindling/fire staerter bag.

To begin with I took a paper bag from some bakery goods.

Then I filled it with wood shavings that evidently suggest that I do some some woodworking.

Also I have I pine tree growing in my yard, which is not the best idea in general, but it's too late to care about it. It also means that I have some pinecones. They burn really good.

Add a dozen of those to the bag ontop of wood shavings.

Close the bag.

You can prepare it beforehand and have some time saved on the hiking.

Before using, punch a bunch of holes in the bag. I used a twig. It'll provide air access necessarry for burning.

Build your fire... thing around the bag.

Light the bag up. It works really good. You'll get your fire coing in couple of minutes.

We had a bunch of good roasted meat of different kind today.

This is it, thank you for your attention, and klaatu verata nikto.
