Title: ANYONE HEARD OF FRITO S AS FIRESTARTERS
Post by: angelsmom10 on Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM
 I subscribe to a number of newsletters and within the past week or so, I received one that talked about Frito s as firestarter s -- anyone heard of this?

 angelsmom10I have never started a fire with them. But I have tossed a few in the fire to watch them burn, and they really go.

 angelsmom10If you use Fritos as a firestarter, does that attract bears?

 angelsmom10I actually tried this last summer.  We used barbecue Fritos and it didn t work at all.
 They stayed lit for a few seconds, but it would have  never been enough to start a fire.
