This press turns discarded, used paper into a usable firestarter.
First, shred the paper in a paper shredder (or food processor in a pinch.
Mix with water so the mixture can flow but stays quite thick.
Pour the mixture into the bottom part of the mould (the part with holes) outside, or over something you wouldn't mind getting wet.
Take the press (the solid cylinder) and press down the mixtureas herd as you can (stomping, weights, anything works) until no more water comes out the bottom.
Take out the press and turn the mould upside down then shake or hit it against a surface until the brick gets disodged
Dry the brick or wait for it to dry
(optional: soak the brick in lighter fluid )
The brick is now ready for use as a firestarter!
