Well. I'm getting better at the flint and steel thing. This past weekend my wife and I walked around the woods near where we live and collected some tinder. This included a brown, hairlike moss from a tree, some sycamore bark, and some punk wood from a dead tree trunk.<br>Last night, after adding just a few scrapes of magnesium I was able to light the moss which in turn lit the bark and then the punk wood. Overall, this was a very gratifying experience.<br>BTW: All these materials were collected the day after a soaking drizzle which made my success more amazing.<br><br>Chris
