Simple homemade firelighters .
Getting my stash ready for the next winter , these are made from 100% recycled materials the cardboard tube from finished toilet rolls .
Simply melt some old candle wax in a pot and soak a squashed flat roll in the pan , take out using tweezers ,allow to dry then cut up into strips .
These burn for around 1.5 minutes or if cut open to form a long taper more like 3 mins and are of course completely waterproof great for adding to a survival kit or as a stove lighter .
