Meet AJ Dykens-Dunbar. AJ is in his mid-20s, and participates at the Strathmore branch of FAIM. For the past several years, AJ has been building a successful business making and selling his popular Fire Starters.

AJ’s Fire Starters are made out of 100% recycled materials: egg cartons, wood chunks, and old candles, and are wrapped in newspaper for packaging. All you have to do is light one and it will burn for up to 30 minutes, even in strong winds.

Not only are they great for campfires, bonfires, etc., they’re also a great addition to survival kits.

The fire starters are priced as follows:

1 for $1, or 6 with matches for $5

If you’d like purchase fire starters, contact the Strathmore branch of FAIM at 403-934-4888 or email bev@faims.org
