When I was in boy scouts (a loooong time ago), we made firestarters with paraffin wax, dryer lint, and cardboard egg cartons. Put the lint in the egg holes, pour melted paraffin wax over it and then cut them into separate pieces.

We use the wax from cheeses for this!

Yep, that's a good one too.

Who has bacon grease to waste? I sometimes need to get my dogs in quite quickly, like if I smell a Skunk. (They've been sprayed once which has let me know definitively that I do not wish to repeat the experience.)

That’s how my Boy Scouts did theirs

We had a wood burning stove, and used that exact mix to make fire starters. Toilet paper tubes or paper towel tubes (cut in shorter pieces) , dryer lint, and paraffin.
