  • 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?

  • @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,

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

  • @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,
