Chapstick with natural tinder for fire starting - Old Man's Beard
I use chapstick ( lip balm ) a lot with natural tinders to help them hold a flame for a bit longer. This is just a quick video of using chapstick with a black moss we have around here. We call it Old Man's Beard. It works okay as a fire starter but it burns out really quick. Using the chapstick with it really helped it sustain a flame.
A handy little thing to know for survival. It's pretty common to have chapstick in your pack or pocket.
