hey guys i love all of you videos, i am new to bushcraft but have purchased a traditional flint and steel it works well, but i have only a few sharp edges on my flint and will eventually need to buy more flints, i have looked on ebay and few people sell them, go you guys know where i can get them?

[NaturalBushcraft]

@JoshuaMcKenna12345 You don't always have to use flint, any rock that is hard enough will work, experiment with a few rocks don't worry your not going to do that steel any damage ;) Try quartz it's a good one. Also you could re-shatter your flint (depending on how big it is to start with) to get new sharp edges. Feel free to join our friendly community forums for more advice, Cheers,

Hi, thanks for sharing all the knowledge, your videos on the subject are really great. Like you, i think charcloth is an awesome fire-lighter. I just started uploading vids on my channel, come check if you have a moment, i'd love your point of view. Hello from the french alps

To make a fire in traditional way is like resurrect ghost of the past

[Woodenarrows]

Very good demo video

[jtdrummer2112]

good video. 1st 32 seconds a waste of time though. keep up the good work.

[misternylon]

Great video, you really have skills and thankyou for sharing them.

[NaturalBushcraft]

@misternylon Thanks buddy.

[MrHatManS]

Nicely presented

[69Grunden]

Great demo and end credits. Thanks for sharing...

[007vauxhall]

Thank you so much, explained simply and clearly, I have learnt so much from this, I was confused aout this method before...but not now. Paul :-)

[Equipped4Wilderness]

Great quick instructional. I like to keep a small backup fire kit in a old Altoids can that I also use to make char cloth.

[dcordry]

ASH, excellent video & excellent technique. Keep up the good work!

[MiWilderness]

This is becoming my favorite method of fire starting. Thanks for sharing Ashley.

[mazadan]

great Ashley, not a peice of birch bark in sight. it has to be probably the best way of fire starting with out matches or lighter. to think up until the mid 1800's that all there was. just a tinder box flint and steel

[NaturalBushcraft]

@mazadan Yeah, Charcloth is brilliant isn't it? It makes fire-lighting by spark so easy and to think someone today posted a comment criticising my use of Charcloth! - Although I can't seem to find their comment now, perhaps they removed it themselves. I think Peter I'm going to start using this method more often :) All the best,

[nativerobin]

You are making that look too easy! Nice video :)

[NaturalBushcraft]

@nativerobin Just takes a bit of practice, good excuse to play in the woods and practice some skills. Understanding how and why things work the way they do helps you improve your technique also, that's why I'm going back to the core skills and covering them :) Thanks for your comment,

- Ashley Cawley.

[NaturalBushcraft]

@nativerobin Good charcloth does most of the work for me, it catches a spark so easily :)

[trollkors78]

Greetings, thanks for your video, it's nice to see ancient crafts in action ;O) BTW - try charROPE - made on the same way like charcloth, but it holds stiffer together and isn't so "brittle" and thin like charcloth...

[hobbexp]

you are good on explain things,

fredde

[NaturalBushcraft]

@hobbexp Thank you! You are very good at friction fire lighting! Wish I could do the hand drill as easy as you make it look :)

- Ash.

[hobbexp]

@NaturalBushcraft

hahaha, things like that allways look easyer and what it is,, thanks

[biblesnbarbells]

Excellent job my friend! I need to try this technique.  God Bless. Anthony.

[Idahobo77]

Nice job! You make it look so easy ;-)

[CiaranRooney125]

Another fantastic video, Ashely! I remember my first spark with Flint & Steel, what a feeling! I much prefer primitive fire lighting to modern.

[NaturalBushcraft]

@CiaranRooney125 It's a great feeling when it catches isn't it? Still makes me happy every time :)

[snaponjohn100]
