thats a firesteel not a flint and steel. it would be great if you would use a flint and steel.
-
@wolfbushcraft No as most of it is mostlikely synthetic and if it is hair it will not take a spark either. Dryer lint is losing it's ability to burn as well as in the old day when most our cloths were pure cotton. So stick it in the bin mate.
cheers

good video but it's probably better to put your fire steel right in the tinder it will catch spark more easy.
in my video you see that i put the firesteel in the middle

i agree with you some of these will literaly burn in an instant and then if you tip it over it will go up agian hmmm.

ummm,,,, from a practical perspective, why the hell would you bother making charred bulrush/cattail fluff with matches only so you can light it with traditional flint?It makes no sense. If you have matches, light woodshavings. And if you want to go ahead and be traditional about it, isn't kind of out of the spirit of things to use matches to prepare it ahead of time? Cool vid though. Now I don't feel so bad about not being able to catch a fire with cattail fluff.

I know this may sound daft, but the yesterday I emptied my hoover bag as it wasn't picking up anything. I was about to throw it in the bin then thought, hang on, this is all bone dry and is mainly hair and fluff. So I put it in a carrier and kept it. Do you think it'll take a spark and be good for making a fire. Great vid btw.

I think I might have been one of the people who said he'd used flint and steel to light cattails :-) I shall have to be more careful with my language. I used a firesteel (can't remember now if it was a proper firesteel or an old 'flint rod' type one though). It wasn't as easy as you made it look though Grimbo!
