Thread: Using a fire steel with natural tinders

  1. #1

    Default Using a fire steel with natural tinders

    One very important skill to own is the use of the fire steel. It is reliable,cheap,waterproof, and easy to practice with. Once you get good with it you can focus on collecting tinders in the woods. They are free and satisfying to use.
    Natural tinders take a little prep most of the time. Some have to be broken down and roughed up to expose the fibers which will catch a spark. Others have resins and need no prep.

    Excellent video. You might want to add a video about preparing those tinders. That is probably the hardest problem my scouts have.

    Thanks, IAW, for another great video.
    At the end of it, I was imagining a slow camera pull back to reveal the whole forest on fire from all the different tinders being flicked to the side.
