You don...I have made these every year for camping. You don't actually need the sawdust, just the lint, wax, and cardboard carton. You can also melt the wax in a glass jar over a candle warmer (just takes a while for it to melt all the way). <br /><br />Now if you REALLY want to have fun, you can light those with a 9 volt battery and very fine steel wool. Do it outside in a fire pit. And definitely don't hold the batteries and steel wool in the same hand. You can use the battery again; it doesn't wear it out. <br /><br />Oh, and my little friend from England who went through survival training tells me an unused tampon (coated with Vaseline or lip balm is even better) makes a fabulous fire starter as well. Built in wick and all. Not for every day of course but if you're ever stranded and have your purse along...Kathy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982016419232329079noreply@blogger.com
