Mike Ameling Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 But there also are some videos showing fire starting with a traditional flint/steel. I know several people have found some, but I don't know what they searched for. Probably used that "traditional" word in their search. I have a dial-up connection, so I don't watch videos. Yeah, they now call those modern ferro-cerrium rod fires starters FLINT! Even that tv show SURVIVOR calls it FLINT. More traditional words given new meanings/definitions.

KNeilson Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Made up some firesteel, found some flint at the local gemshop, got the charcloth made in a shoepolish tin and got success on the first try. Thanks to the contributors to this thread, Ive really enjoyed this experience.....Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
