Flint and steel fires
Fox:
Nice ;) I wish I could figure out flint and steel, I can get sparks and I have tried getting an ember with processed amado fungus, Chaga, and char cloth and never had any luck, I am using quirts instead of flint cause that's what I got around here.
I got a tradition similar bow Ed, I start every first fire in the woodstove with a bow drill, 2 years ago I started every fire of the season with bow drill so id be thoroughly comfortable with the skill
White Falcon:
Fox, when using char cloth, do you fold it over so it is thicker? Do you have cloth on top of flint or on the bottom?
Fox:
I haven't folder the char cloth over, and I have tried both ways on top and bottom, usually I try with the char cloth on top
White Falcon:
Do you get sparks? Try to light a piece of your cloth with a liter to see if it will get an ember.
