we were messing with that as well
when he showed me the video i went to my tackle box i had as a kid and pulled my pill bottle of cotton balls and PJ from 40 years ago and it lit right up, was pretty funny
what i saw real quick is the the petroleum jelly by itself while it burned well didn't burn nearly as long as the extra layer of wax
also saw the cotton and wax like a candle wasnt that great, spark would lite the cotton but the wax wouldnt really get going at times
seems that the PJ acts as the accelerant and the wax is the fuel
we had a pile of twigs on the patio
if the twigs were a little damp the cotton "stuffs" without the wax may or may not lite
with the wax added we had a longer flame time which also allowed him to move the twigs around if there weren't lighting
all in all it was pretty fun making 15-20 little fires over 2 days
felt like i was 12 years old again in the woods

Reminds me of the time I was skiing at Stevens Pass WA in heavy fog. There is one run that goes under a power line, you could hear the crackle from the static electricty. Pretty freaky...
Reminds me of a job in my younger days working in AK.
Boss asked me to take the old truck and go from airport out to our dock at the float plane lake 3 miles away.
Told me to pack a bag and be sure to bring my waders and work gloves.
3 trips filling a converted turbine Otter on floats with construction materials and flying them to a back country hunting lodge, unload and fly back for another.
One of many amazing days in my life I have great memories of and know I am blessed to have experienced.
That screw looks like it isn’t clocked perfectly straight and it’s annoying me.
C'mon guys....give it up....firestarters? Really?
There's better ways to go about it.
When you don't have a gallon of gasoline and a bic,
there's my personal favorite when I'm wandering loose in the trees...
Easy ignition, burns at 2650°F, even underwater, it'll get any campfire going.
What? Just sayin'....

That’s because it’s not and is unacceptable on a piece that spendy.
One of them is a buddy of mine.Anyone have any info on these nice looking gentlemen,,, maybe they belong to a mens club or something…..
He's not a SEAL, he's the boat Capt.
Won't divulge any more, it's his business, not mine.
We still call him Skipper tho.
Goes directly to NSA.com. Someone has a sense of humor there...
I carry a little can of WD40....
The fish oil burns, and if you get even the smallest little flame going - hit it again with the WD40 spray.
The propellent is propane!
Warning on that.
The first one isn't bad.....the 2nd....welll.....
It's definitely NOT for beer drinkers.
Well, at least you didn't write PBJ for Petroleum-Based Jelly, then I would ask...
read it? I ghost authored it...!

And almost every one of us has had to learn the lesson of gas, fumes and explosion. None of us learned the easy way I'm willing to wager.
Wouldn't be the third time!
Lets get the Holiday Weekend Started out right
