Mountain wicks
Hand-poured fire starters made with real wood and wax Wood shavings or sawdust (pine or cedar) - Beeswax or paraffin ( I prefer Paraffin) - twine wick is better - Optional: crushed pine resin - Egg carton or silicone mold is better Recipe (12 fire starters) - 2 cups wood shavings - 12-16 oz melted wax - 1-2 tbsp pine resin (optional) How to - Fill molds loosely with wood shavings - I like to place the twine on the side, and I make it 1 inch long. - Pour melted wax until saturated - you wanna let it cool for about 2 hours

Courses/ Chat Forum
Hey guys! I’d like to start creating more courses/ chat forums for you guys. I think the best way to organize this would be by activity! ⛺️🥾🏃‍♂️🎣🦌 If you could throw your favorite outdoor activities in the comments I’d appreciate it! ⬇️ Also if you have suggestions on what you’d like the courses to cover you can put that here as well! 📝 I would love input from all of you adventurers! 🌲

The Lake usually sits calm this time of year. Spring fishing can’t come soon enough
