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.
Step 1: Materials
Get just a couple of cotton balls, a bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol,a container of Vaseline(petroleum jelly), and an ignition source.
Step 2: 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.
