Camp Fire Starters
While hiking, my kids and I pick up fallen pine cones. We bring them home and dry them in the oven if needed. Then we use old or leftover candles to coat the pine cones. We do this by simply melting the wax in a small pot on the stove and dipping the pine cones in the wax. We then set them on wax paper to dry. These pine cones smell great and are a great way to start a camp fire.
