Scout and I took a nice long hike today, along the way I stopped to try out different natural materials for use with a firesteel.

  • Nice vid man

  • @FEDS91 thank you, I'm glad you think so!

  • Well done Joe! Love the winter videos! That thorn shrub looks like a species of hawthorn (Crataegus sp.)? Southern Ontario is an epicenter of speciation of NA hawthorn. You have many species, and they are discovering new varieties all the time. Ferro rod: Was that a LMF or a softer mischmetal rod?

  • @Wintertrekker Thanks man.

    You're probably right about the Hawthorn, they are exploding down here.

    The Ferro rod was a LMF style, but I usually use mischmetal.

    I like switching back and forth between the 2 types so that my technique is often refined.

see all
