    Default Fire by Rock

    Wildwoods Survival is just a wealth of knowledge and I thought you might like to see this article on different types of rocks to start fire with. It might expand someone's ideas on fire starting and could even save a life. Imagine sitting on an outcrop of granite and freezing to death because you had no flint.

    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    I still have trouble w/ the flint and steel. I'm just not patient enough.

    I seriously doubt granite is going to work. Maybe granite mixed with something else but granite by itself, doubtful. Just knocked several inches out of a hunk of granite that had decided it wanted to be in a trench I was digging and out of hundreds of blows (iron and steel tools) I never saw a single spark.

    Har har! Sounds like military talk to me.

    Anyway, that's a good site. I think that's the guy who made fire from an ice ball he made.

    I can't believe he lit a fire from a spark created from sandstone. Bizarre.
