The Connecticut state park we go to will give out a little paper cup fire starter when you buy their wood, it looks like wood shavings or sawdust in some solid substance, maybe wax. Being retired I should try to be more cost conscious.

It is wax and it's wonderful because its water proof! You can make your own using cardboard egg cartons as the cups. Fill them with saw dust or dryer lint then fill them up with melted wax. Let them cool then cut the egg cups apart. Great fire starters and the wax keeps them dry in any conditions.
