If you had paid closer attention you would have noticed that he never claimed to have invented it.

@sillygirl722 I make big batches of char cloth. Although, kepp this in mind: The more you try to make, the longer you need it in the fire. If not, it will still be cloth when you take it out.
-
Do you have to make it piece by piece? Or can you put a few pieces in the can and make 5-10 at a time?

@desertsurvivalist is it necessary to jet fire out of it? when i do it i just use hot embers... so is just when it stops smoking okay? i figure its the same thing.?
-
ahh right... i made some of this bt i thought it was supposed to light... it just ... embered... so i guess i did it right... BUT...... it took me ages to find a paint tin to do it but now i've learnt this bean can technique so nice one!

@desertsurvivalist.. do you have to seal the top for it to work? or can you just set it inside an open can?
So all we need is fire to make char cloth so we can make fire :^)
So which came first - the fire or the char cloth?
Seriously.... good info thanks for posting!

You make char cloth to extend the life of the tools you have on hand for lighting fires. You also have it for the next fire you build while on the move.
