Recipe for a fire starter

Several years ago, some of us ITRA officers were hosting a mini VIP Ride in Brown County for the state legislatures who served on the DNR study committee that were meeting at Brown County. The night before we were to fix them a wonderful breakfast we got one heck of a rainstorm. In fact Bruce and I got caught out on the A side riding and got drenched. When we got back to camp what used to be our campfire was now a very big and deep mud puddle. Well I tried and tried to get that fire going again and ran myself out of charcoal light er fluid, when a friend of ours camped accross the way from us came over with a 5 gallon pail of what she called "fire starter" and got a fire going in no time. She volunterred the recipe although I would have gotten it out of her one way or another! Get a 5 gallon plastic pail with a lid that will snap back on. Fill it with either sawdust or shavings, then put two gallons of kerosene in it. Get a ladle from your kitchen that you'll never put back and when you get ready to start your next campfire, just put a couple of ladles of that kerosene soaked sawdust on your firewood and strike a match and you're all set. The sawdust will keep burning long enough to get your wood to catch on fire. If your wood is really wet or green or both, it may take a couple of more ladles but she'll start and keep burning.
