Make It Yourself Monday: Camping & Survival Tip! How To Make Your Own Fire-Starters!

I think everyone who has gone camping has been in the position where no matter what you do you just cant get a fire going!

Well I have an awesome "Make It Yourself Monday" tip that will make sure you will never have that problem again!

Here is what you will need:

:: Laundry Lint

:: Toilet Paper Rolls (without the TP)

That's right it's that simple! And I love that this reuses items that you would normally never have a use for again! I mean what would you ever reuse lint for normally? 

Just stuff the tubes full of lint and save them for when you go camping. These are also great to put in your emergency kit!

I made a cute little camping kit for a friend and included these in it, she is now going to make sure her family doesn't throw away lint anymore. And if you need log tongs you can find them here. 

Our family loves camping so be sure to look out for all sorts of awesome camping tips and tricks in the next few months! 

And if you're looking to add a little fun to the fire be sure to grab these fire color packets here. We use these every time we go camping and our kids love them.  They are the cheapest I have come across that work really well! You can get a pack of 12 or 25 that will last you for most of the summer. These always take our camping fun up a notch and we can't wait to see what colors will happen. 

Below are a few more things (all very highly rated) I can't live without when camping: 

Inflatable Lounger

This amazing lounger is my best friend when camping or chilling at home! I love how many designs this comes in and how easy it is to set up. While my husband and kids go on a hike I will sit back in this and read a book or just enjoy nature. It is by far my favorite thing when camping. No pump required for this air lounger. Just a few scoops of air and it's ready to hangout in. This is a must-have for any BBQ, Pool Party, Beach, Hike, Concert, or Camping Trip. Folding to 12"x 8"x 4"and fitting in its own carrying bag with shoulder strap, this air sofa is ready to be taken anywhere with you! Made with craftsmanship and high-quality Ripstop fabric that is lightweight, comfortable and strong enough to support 400lbs!
