 User ID: 1233351 United States01/17/2011 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For me? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1233338Clothes dryer lint. Extremely flammable, easy to light in case you need to start a fire. I have a pile of it next to my dryer, I need to find a bucket for it. What do you have that's odd, but works really well for a when TSHTF? I saved dryer lint for a long time too. I read a tip here or somewhere to pack the lint into cardboard egg cartons and pour wax from used up candles and such (actually, I got cheap CHEAP candles from the a discount candle factory surplus store here). I did that and am now the proud owner of over 300 firestarter 'eggs'. But the oddest things I've gathered, I guess, are firebricks and cement to build an outdoor oven. I fill my empty toilet paper tubes with the lint then close off the ends with wax. |

Don't underestimate the value of a pack of dogs for protection, carrying some of your stuff, hunting (hounds will get you some squirrels and rabbits and raccoons) and general safety. After some sort of calmness and civility returns after the initial chaos, a dogsled team pulling a wagon would be a valuable asset. |

User ID: 1088934 United States01/17/2011 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I save my dryer lint for making homemade paper.. at least that was the plan - I still have yet to actually make any and the box is full.  We have lots and lots and lots of powdered gator-aide type electrolyte replacement drinks in our emergency supplies. I have to drink it due to a heart condition and get a bit antsy thinking about not having it so I'm a gator aide hoarder.

Saves on using too much lighter fluid. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1228167That's a really good idea, I'm surprised I never heard of it. I have cotton squares, that they sell for cosmetic use, and petroleum jelly, that's supposed to be good for starting fires, petroleum jelly on cotton balls. I like your idea, that's a good one. |
