HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE WITH A FLINT (FIRE STEEL)

admin — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:12:10 +0000

Video showing how to light a fire with a flint, using a variety of materials sourced in woodland. NOT including cotton wool, tissues or any other ‘convenient’ tinder found in a kitchen drawer. The fungus used in the video is known as Devil’s Hoof Fungus (Boletus satanas) and typically grows on dead and dying Silver Birch trees. When dried it can be used for transporting fire and is easy to light with a flint. Apart from the dry grass, it was the easiest thing to light and very easy to make fire once it was smouldering. I saw Ray Mears using this fungus on one of his excellent television series and wanted to give it a go so I was well happy when I found one a few weeks prior to making this video. Once it was dried it made a very good tinder to catch a spark.
