  • After practice, I mastered the flint and steel method using a tinder bundle, also included lighting a bundle with a a magnifying glass. Hope you enjoy how i have progressed with my fire lighting skills.

    Hi Becky. A tip for fire starting for you in one word, Straw. A plastic straw will work and weighs almost nothing. If you want a permanent straw just use a collapsable antenna from an old radio. No need to pay the price for the same thing they sell online just for fire starting. Remove the inner section, maybe 2, and you can then direct the air precisely with minimal risk to your hair when the flame starts.

    I enjoy just watching you. There aren't many young women over here in the USA that are interested in these skills and today's society. Keep up the good work.

      For many excellent reasons Percussion Fire Ignition (aka Flint & Steel) was the dominant method for producing an ember in all weather conditions for the 5,000 years before matches and lighters superseded it.
      The Ancient Egyptians, Vikings, Romans, Inuit, North American Fur Traders, and many other people groups across the millennia all relied upon F&S.

    nice video Becky. And such a great spring day you were enjoying there. Still snow here.. lol We really enjoyed it and it's nice to see you sharing what you've learned and passing along the skills. And as you said ... The practice will give success, and as the number of successful attempts grow, so will your confidence. Then, when you have 'success' with every attempt in all kinds of conditions.. then, you have 'Mastered" the technique. Until that point we are students practising the technique.. mastery will eventually come with continued success. Thanks for sharing. Glenn & Maureen.

  • @Casey1pj
    @Casey1pj Před 6 lety +1

    Jute twine is excellent for flint and steel but also Cattail down, Dried milkweed seed, dried thistle seed heads, Birch bark scrapings and Pine bark scrapings. Some places have something that grows on branches and when it dies it looks like hair dangling off the branch. I think they call it hang mans beard or something like that. It's supposed to be excellent for flint fire. All of these things light up easily with a ferro rod but you will have to practice with different techniques when using flint and steel. This was an excellent tutorial for beginners Becky. You were very thorough in your explanations. The comeback with the magnifying glass more than made up for the camera crash. It was like an advanced course. Hehe. So glad to see that your camera is back up and running and that you managed to get your boat and some of your gear back. Bravo! Awesome Video As Always! Thanks!
