tea bag fire starters from oz

Hi all

dont waste those teabags - hang them out to dry.

once dry place in airtight container and pour some kerosine (called paraffin, i think in the uk) in the container to be soaked up by the teabags.

take them camping or use at home
just a small tip from www.australianoutdoors.com

I'll have to try that! Never thought about that before!

Sounds like a good idea, going to hang some some out now....

 

[MartiniDave]

Do you not just dry them out and use them again?? :?:

Dave :-D

How long do they burn?

 

[Lithril]

Must admit I try not to, I like my tea as a strong cup of Tea rather than a cup of T...

 

[giancarlo]

just don't get them mixed up with your real tea bags.....

mmmmmmmmm tasty...

Any old "pongoes" out there will remember that wet tea bags are excellent for removeing burnt hexy from mess tins. Might work on wood charred tins too.
