What about hair?It can burn and it ignites fast.However,it won't last long due to how fast it ignites.You can also use hair as "signal tinder" due to the foul smell it gives off.I would only recommend using hair as a last resort for creating a fire.And remember:Everybody has hair.

I use this method and my egg carton/lint/wax mixture will burn for at least 15 minutes up to 30.

Well, I soaked a 1/2" x 2" bar of chipboard (compressed recycled paper ones with dense texture) in liquid vaseline. When I need tinder, I shave the chipboard a little, to form a little pile of tinder – just pne pinch. It quickly cathces fire, lasts long, and the storage is way too easy since it is very compressed in original form.It is cheap and easy to make.

Hi all…farely new to site. First Post__This may already have been mentioned in an earlier post but I'll put it on here anyways. My #1 choice for homemade tinder is, Get a 50' roll of Jute Twine, Parafin Wax, Old Pot (to melt wax in). First thing first melt wax, cut twine for desired length's then drop the twine into the wax leave to soak about 10 minutes. Then pull out and lay on newspaper…and there you have it you now have ready slow burning highly flammable tinder that is best of all 100% moisture and water resistant.__PS- pull twine apart and roll in hand to make nice slow burn of tinder

A raw peanut will burn about 10 minutes when lit, and it lights easily.
