Put a tin with tree resin in a water bath. Once it melts, olive oil can be added (The mixing ratio between tree resin and olive oil is 1:1/2). Why Olive Oil? Quite simply, it prevents the drying out of the resin. Thus, the resin can be stored for months.
Especially under wet weather conditions, the Resin-oil mixture shows its strenghts. Through its gelatinous consistency, it’s easy to handle. But more importantly, even damp wood can be ignited without consuming a lot of fuel.

With this homemade fire booster, you have a product made from natural materials which is inexpensive and easy to make.
