Basics of Tinder and Fire Extenders - Bonus look at Fire Steel/Ferro Rods! What's the difference between a tinder and a fire extender? Can one item be both? My favorite tinder is both, and is practically free - the petroleum jelly cotton ball. Small, long lasting and water resistant - the perfect tinder for camp fires, small stoves and just about anything else you may need to get a fire going in. Having a tinder/extender at the ready can really make things easier when setting up camp or trying to keep warm during an 'unexpected' camping trip!
