Entry into Ghosthonda's Flint and Steel Challenge

My entry into Ghosthonda's flint and steel challenge. Light a candle using flint and steel for time. I have been lying low since Thanksgiving, so I am sorry if anyone thought that I just stopped commenting or viewing. I am having my gall bladder removed as soon as I can get in. any way, I was getting stir-crazy, so I thought I would do a quick vid. God bless.

You did that like a pro. I like the birds nest with the paper around it to direct the way the air moves that you blow into the tinder bundle. Very ingenious (sneaky). God bless.

@MrItchyElbow Thanks man.

Seemed Quick! How did you do it?

@motorhead1 Created a glowing ember from a spark that fell onto charred cloth (tender). I put that into a home-made bird's nest and blew it into a flame. Seems like magic every time that I do it. God bless. John

Nice lighting the candle! Good luck with your gall bladder.

@MiWilderness Thank you my friend. John

@snaponjohn100 Thanks! I am going to try and make some Charred Cloth using an Altoids tin and some pieces of 100 percent cotton t-shirt. Never tried it before. Also bought a Magnesium Firestarter which has a good striker for producing a spark when you run the back of your knife blade over it. Cool Videos! Thanks
