Testing out the Wet Fire Tinder to see if I could get it lit in extreme Sub-Zero weather, worked like a charm, the Lightning Strike Firestarter with a pinch of (dryer lint and rabbit fur

mixed together) one Spark ignited the Wet Fire Tinder instantly!

How long did you need to keep the :rabbit2: in the dryer?

Not long about about 25-30 minutes on the high setting

Speaking of staying warm, got one of these and a 40lb tank. That way, I can use the power from my generator for something else, if need be. Let’s just say I don’t live in Californistan.

Ive got a couple of those. Great even for natural gas hook up in case power goes out. Furnace wont run without electric, but these will! Disruption in natural gas line distribution, then propane tanks. Great for emergencies! Good post @Prepper10
