For Wood Burners: Kindling Cracker

Firestarter story... The very first time I took my snowmobile up to Mount Hood. I went up to frog lake a common launching spot.. this old man came up to me and said you do have an emergency fire starting kit correct? He holds up a tampon???... After watching my face go into all kinds of quizzical looks he finally says to start a fire??.. the quizzical looks kind of continued... He says you dunk it in your two-stroke oil reservoir and then into your gas tank, pull it out and you have something that will even start a little bit of wet wood on fire....
