Back in the before times one thing we did a fair amount of was camping. The best part of camping was always the campfire. Getting the fire lit though could be a problem- hence the need for fire starters. I could always buy fire starters but we always have dryer lint, have a back stock of candles from dead Nancy & we usually buy eggs in cardboard cartons. In my area (the 716) I can find eggs in cardboard cartons at Aldi, Lexington Co-op & and Whole Foods. (Just a reminder that if you have Amazon Prime you can often get further discounts at Whole Foods. Try it for a 30-Day Free Trial).

If for whatever reason you don’t have candles you can always find some at Dollar Tree or buy Gulf Wax via Amazon.

It is important that when you melt the wax you do it in a double boiler. You could buy a new double boiler (but seriously, don’t buy a new one just for wax melting) or you could jerry-rig what I did- which was use an old pot and a coffee pot I snagged at a thrift store. Be aware that once you use the pots for wax melting to *not* use them for food.
