Key Tip For Flint And Steel Fire

If you value your firemaking skills, then you likely already know this essential fire making hack. Camping, hiking and backyard adventurers can all appreciate a good bonfire or cozy campfire crackling away after a hard days work....or play. In survival situations and even just camping or hosting a boy or girl scout program, making a fire is the glue that ties everything together. Flint and steel is one of the most rewarding and simple methods to starting your fire. But there is one essential ingredient that can make or break your efforts. Char cloth. This is the substrate that catches the spark from your flint and transfers the ember into the tinder bundle in order to grow into successful flame. This is a tried and true hack that EVERY outdoors person should know like the back of their hand! #camping #fire #survival
