We were just trying to use the kit I got from the suttler, and see if that was adequate. <br /><br />It might be, but not in our clumsy hands. <br /><br />Oh, well, it wasn't like our lives depended on it.

I think you put down a bit of char cloth on a suitably stable surface, shave off a lil magnesium spark flint and steel onto that pile and then go to jute, tinder, branches, and then logs, it helps to have a reed to use as a mouth bellows or blow pole as well. Just saying because you can find a moderately modernized system that works on the same principle for packing into your backwoods hiking survival bug out bag.<br /><br />AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
