An obvious and free bob item. Dryer lint

I know most of you already know this, but I figured there was a chance a few of you didn't. I was a scout, and we often used this for fire starting, with a fire striker. My brother had a magnesium striker in the house at thanksgiving, so I found it to be a great way to show my son how to start the grill up. One strike, maybe two, and that lint would blaze up. Free, very easy to compress and use numerous times since it compacts so well, and it also goes to show the importance of cleaning your dryer vents! http://m.cbsnews.com/m/2100-500178_162-936464.html

Says 15k fires a year in homes from lint.
