Thank you. Very Good video.
In the very beginning of the video it is mentioned that he received comments from folks saying that they knew folks who could make a fire faster. Seems there is always somebody who feels the need to criticize others who took the time to put together a instructional video (most often they are not compensated for making the video and the video is free to watch). Who knows why they feel the need to criticize? Maybe it makes them feel important? I have found that most who criticize such videos never have published a video themselves.
Anyways, I enjoyed the video. Thank You.

I purchased my tinderbox many years ago from Dixie Gun Works in Tennessee USA WF. All similar sized tins with a lid will work.

Interesting video!  I liked it, and will try some of those materials, maybe I can get a spark to hit the target!  Got to agree with Brian, no body really cares how fast some one else can make fire unless it is a timed contest.  I am still trying to get a fire, period with the flint and steel.  Some practice might help! :fp
