Flint and steel fire
Timo:
First time I have ever tried this. PaulN/ KS,Fixed me up with some charred cloth and jute.Tonight I decided it was time to learn.I had my daughter take a few pics for me.This has got to be the coolest thing I have ever done.makes one feel powerful.
Fist pic show the jute,flint and steel. Then a small jute nest, the charred cloth in the nest. She never could get a pic of the spark but it is in there.The cloth catches it and holds it. Then with quick hands I picked it up, wrapping it into a tighter nest ,and began to lightly blow on it.

I tried to do it in the hand, but need some practice with that technique.
