Let Me Tell You a Story We have all felt it. The excitement and relief when you finally spot the old wooden post marking your campsite. You rip off your pack and toss it under the tree. After grabbing a beer you walk around checking out the campsite. Not bad! You find a flat patch of earth that is slightly softer than concrete and set up your tent dropping one or two "F bombs" along the way. Next step is to build an epic campfire - one that they can see from space! Okay maybe not that big. Now to get started - what is your choice of tinder? Do you crawl underneath the tress for handfuls of orange pine needles? Are you the rookie who brought the Sunday newspaper or perhaps the experienced backpacker who brought Vaseline® soaked cotton balls? So what is it? 100% cotton embedded in petroleum jelly. Yes -embedded - we don't simply rub some petroleum jelly onto it, but instead melt it down to fully soak the cotton creating a much longer burn time. The very top of the ball is kept dry so that a spark can easily light the fibers. Can't I just make these myself? Yes you can! And I recommend that for people on a tight budget. This is for those of us who don't want to go to the store, wait awkwardly in line with a giant container of petroleum jelly, find an old pot to use to melt it down, and dunk a cotton ball in hot liquid without sustaining a second degree burn. Guarantee If this is not the easiest, most convenient way to start a fire get your money back and keep the Backpacking Ballz as a gift for your next adventure! Limited Time Offer - Buy 2 Get 1 Free!
