Nothing Says “Fire” Like Moose Poop
October 25, 2011
In a mad fit of work avoidance last Saturday, Benton and I busted out the milk crate of firestarter-making supplies and got busy. This was a milk crate in my workshopt that had slowly been accumulating all of the necessary ingredients:
- Egg cartons (Carson eats 4 eggs a day for breakfast these days…followed by a couple of waffles; these were easy containers to come by!)
- Sawdust (courtesy of the collection bag on my dust collector)
- Old used/warped candles (courtesy of my parents)
- Dried moose poop (also courtesy of my parents…who stopped on the side of a road in Alaska and collected a large bag once they were told that moose scat was an excellent firestarter)
Growing up, I made firestarters with these same basic ingredients sans the moose poop (not a whole lot of moose wandering around Sour Lake, Texas), but, let’s be honest, dried excrement makes any project more exotic!
We mashed up the poop:
We melted the candles (the initial attempt to line the pan with aluminum foil was not successful, but the pot cleaned up fine with a couple of rounds of boiling soapy water):
We filled the egg cartons with a mix of moose poop and sawdust and then poured in the melted wax:
After cooling for an hour or so, we cut up the cartons and had 3 dozen firestarters!
We used one to start a fire in our firepan in the driveway that evening, and it worked like a charm! We should be set for the winter.

Hi, I recently came to the CS Shop – Cheap Software Store – Windows 7 Ultimate.
They sell OEM Microsoft software, prices are actually low, I read reviews and decided to buy Excel 2019, the price difference with the official website is 30%!!! Tell us, do you think this is a good buy?
purchase windows 7 professional permanently
The experience was higher than that I get from other stores and I am glad that I was served professionally and very quickly.
