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.
