And don't forget the kindling as well! We've got loads of firewood,
but I was really struggling to light the fire last night as I had to
scrabble around the shed for something vaguely useful to start the
thing off. And I had no newspaper, and A4 printer paper isn't that
good. Oops!

One of my friends takes the fluff out of the tumble dryer's filter and
stuffs it into empty toilet roll tubes to make little fire-starting
'logs'. Works incredibly well.



I bet he didn't learn that from Ray Mears. Never seen a tumble dryer on
the tundra...


Well that's obviously because they're nocturnal and experts at
camouflage...


Yup, most men can walk past one in their own kitchen and never notice it
for decades ;-)
