Fire is the first sign of civilization. In field conditions, this is especially acutely understood. It happens that there are matches, but it still doesn’t work to make a fire - the firewood is damp, and there is nowhere to take others. And then dry fuel comes to the rescue. The topic of our article is how to make dry fuel at home.

What is needed for this
We will produce not dry alcohol, but its analogue. In addition to 15-20 minutes of our time, we will need:
- cotton pads
- Paraffin candle
- Medical tweezers
- metal container
Paraffin, cotton wool, tweezers and a tin can
Instead of discs, you can use ordinary cotton wool, any other cotton base for our fuel is also suitable.
Step 1 melt the paraffin
We crumble a paraffin candle into a metal container. You can do this with a knife or pliers.
We put a tin can with paraffin on the fire. We used a gas stove. You need to melt on a slow fire.
We melt paraffin
Step number 2 - soak cotton pads
Armed with medical tweezers, we proceed to soak the cotton pads.
We cling to one disk with tweezers and dip it into the melted paraffin several times so that the cotton wool picks up the melted paraffin solution.
Then carefully remove it from the jar and place the impregnated disk on the prepared substrate. You can use regular newspaper or a plastic bag.
We repeat the operation until the paraffin or cotton pads run out.
We try not to drip paraffin
Paraffin needs to be heated periodically.
Step number 3 - solidification of dry fuel
Paraffin hardens very quickly - no more than 1-2 minutes. The “dry fuel” product is ready for use.
When frozen, they are hard disks that are not afraid of high humidity. However, they crumble easily, so it is better to store and transport in solid packages: boxes, metal jars, etc.
Paraffin cotton pads are ready
The shelf life of dry fuel is not limited.

It would seem, what could be the rules? It's simple - set it on fire and that's it. However, some do not succeed in setting fire with one match. And all because paraffin itself does not burn, this requires a base.
Quick ignition
Therefore, for instant ignition, it is recommended to break the impregnated disk in half - there will be clean cotton wool inside (the disk is not completely saturated, but only on top).
After they set it on fire in this place, then there will be almost instant ignition. You can verify this by looking at the photo.
