Fire Starter Straws #2

Hola amigos, sorry for the delay in posting I have been real busy the past few days. The first step in making the fire starter straws is to seal one of the ends. Take your needle nose pliers and clamp one end of the straw like this:

Next you have to take the cotton and petroleum jelly mix and force it down into the straw using an ice pick etc. then you seal the top just like the bottom. The finished product should look like this:

There you go that's how to make a fire starter straw when needed cut open in the middle and fluff it up a bit and you are ready to go.

Fire Starter Straws

Today I made some Fire starter straws out of some:
straws
patroleum jelly
dryer lint
cotton
I will post pics tomarrow very efective! All you have to do is take some dryer lint and cotton fluff them up together and then put them into a plastic bag then add about a table spoon of patroleum jelly. mix it up then roll it into little strings and put them into straws which are cut up into 5" peices. You can seal the straws up with a match and some neddle nose pliers. I will take pics of the process and post them tomarrow.

Project #1 Alice pack frame

Here is a project i have been working on

This is an Alice pack frame for hiking and campouts. The tube running up the side of it is a water canister the whole frame is made out of PVC and it is made so it can hold water. It holds about a gallon which is very useful if you are on a hike. It is 3/4  inch PVC and the water canister is 2 inch. There is also a place at the bottom for a tube so you can drink while you are walking.
