great idea! I will be trying this one. BTW Please use a double boiler for wax. A water bath will allow wax to melt with out boiling. Boiling wax can spit and start fires where you don't want them!

I have watched several of your videos today and I love them. Very concise (nothing worse than watching someone melt wax for 20 minutes). You have proven even an old dog can learn new tricks. I will be stashing a few of these as a permanent fixture in my pack. Keep up the good work.

She was AMAZED, I turned out to be the HERO thanks to you. Thanks for the little video's, they're GREAT!

I just made up some of these today, and they are AWESOME. Instead of TP, used paper towel. Viva paper towels are really super soft and roll around the matchstick easily and stay in place when rolled. They also absorb the paraffin wax really well. I used the selectable size, and it provided a good amount to wrap around the match. I lit up one that accidentally came apart, and it burned for a long time. They are worth the time to make. Thank you for posting this video!!

Great tip! I think having 5 of these could be a lifesaver. When everything is wet having a waterproof match doesn't mean fire, but this will give you enough time to dry out some wet tinder enough to get it going. Thanks again I am going to track down some wax and strike anywhere matches.

Good idea! And waterproof. We used to sea kayak the Oregon & Alaskan coastlines and fire starting in that wet environment could be a challenge. We used bicycle inner tubes - just take scissors and cut them into square chunks 2"x2". They can be soaking wet and will light instantly and burn really hot 5 min or more. Also many other uses for them- like rubber bands. You can take a whole tube and cut as you need or pre cut for fire making. Bike shops will give them to you...

This is the same as my "3 minute match" I created about fifteen years ago. I sold them for awhile on eBay until I realized that the longer you keep them the more unreliable the match head became. After six months to a year only about half would strike anymore. Since people were buying these as emergency fire starters I stopped making them. If your life depends on starting a fire you may not be able to depend on these if you keep them too long.

A Wooden candle match. (a very simple thought, I would never have had.) I made a few today with standard stick matches. Using the old "barn burner" strike anywhere match would probably be better. They work really well, unshielded, in a brisk wind it did not blow out. Thank you,

Many years ago I bought a package of "Buffalo Matches" - I don't remember where. They were made of a thick, crumbly brown substance like sawdust held together with wax, and had a match in the middle. You had to use the included striking strip to light them, but they worked pretty good once lit (except pretty smoky). They were about 4 inches long and came 12 or so to a pack. I haven't seen them since (at least 25 years ago). Nice demo, good information.
