Birch Bark Tinder

Thank you for watching! Birch bark tinder is pretty available in my area and am I ever grateful. Birch Bark has many uses but one of my favorites is tinder. Even if the area is damp, Birch Bark lights easily by spark or flame, and burns very hot thereby drying off sometimes damp kindling. It will ignite “as-is” with a flame such as a match or lighter and sometimes even with a spark. But to insure that it ignites with a spark, a bit of processing will assure successful ignition.
