These fire starters are a collaboration of other Instructables. You can light them with flint+steel,matches,lighter... They're even light-able while sitting on water.

Get just a couple of cotton balls, a bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol,a container of Vaseline(petroleum jelly), and an ignition source.

Putting It Together

Open the container of isopropyl alcohol and thoroughly soak one or two cotton balls. Squeeze excess out. Then coat the cotton balls in Vaseline. Place them in a container. I used the bottom of a soda can.
