Mr. Postman delivered my firesteel today. Gonna go try to burn stuff.
Pics or it didn't happen. Nothing structural I hope.
You are gonna love it.
How many did you get? I know I'm not satisfied with just one. Boy are they fun!
I bought one of these for now: Deluxe FireSteel Tube Bunker
Will buy smaller ones later, one for a neck knife kit etc..
I was reading the tried and true tinder suggestion list last night and thought of something that hasn't been either tried or mentioned. So I'm gonna be the pig from Guinea and give it a whirl. I should have pics and/or video wednesday sometime, if not by thursday for sure.
Gasoline would not be a good choice for tinder.....just sayin'.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
