- In this video I make charcloth for use with flint and steel using two different methods - one often used by modern bushcrafters, and one described in a text published in 1588.

The instructions for making tinder "for a Gunners tinder boxe" as as follows - "But when you will make tinder for a Gunners tinder boxe, take peeces of fustian, or of olde and fine linnen clothe, make them to burne and flame in a fire, & suddenly before the flame which is in thē doth die, choke their fire, & keepe their tinder so made in a boxe lined within with clothe, to the ende it may not be moyste at any time."

Just want to say, I love your videos so much. Your style is so cozy, and I like hearing you talk about the medieval character you portray, while at the same time offering practical advice and fun ideas to try. It's all so great, and I hope you make more when you get a chance to! ☺️
Your correct, it does but when you run low on cloth, its a serviceable tool. Keep up the good work!
Nice work.
I gonna follow you, nice bushcrafting, greeting from the netherlands
Awesome video, thanks :) Some great information here, really interesting, I didn't know you could make char-cloth without throwing the tin in the fire
Absolutely love your videos man

Dont stop now, make more videos. Good info! Have you tried punkwood?
I have! I've found that it works well, but requires striking down into the tinderbox, and at least in my climate, it seems like it absorbs a lot of moisture from the air and doesn't like to take a spark after it has sat for a while. If I were using it every day, I don't think that would be a problem, but it can be a little annoying for infrequent use!
