I wanted to see if I could light a cotton ball that I Carry for tinder using an Aurora fire starter if the cotton ball got wet??..
I used a new cotton ball Freshly covered with Petroleum Jelly. Soaked it with water to act like in got wet in my pack..
This is my first time trying this . The Aurora was also new. I forgot to scrape the protective coating off the rod before I started to strike it..Took a couple of strike's but worked.
Petroleum Jelly and cotton balls seem make a good survival tinder. Even When wet!!

Items needed;
Aurora Fire starter By Solo Scientific
Cotton balls
Petroleum Jelly
Water

  • What i'm saying is if it's pouring rain out your not going to be able to dry it out like you did. Essestially you got it wet and then dried it out. mid as well not have gotten it wet. But myself I take cotton balls, wrap a piece of string around it and dip in wax. Will light even when wet and acts like a long lasting candle

  • @jarhiker

    Point taken.. I will have to try that..

  • why get it wet when your going to dry it out. not very realistic, out there the rain doesn't stop so you can dry something out

  • @jarhiker

    Its wet??? I just patted the water out.. Would you rather I light it under water??? In the rain everyone would still try to squeeze the excess water out which is what I did.. Show you that if you did it can be lit!!

    Its a DEMO! Can't satisfy every one HUH!

    Show me how you Do It?
