I just picked up a steel fire striker and piece of flint and I'm working on making it work. I've made char cloth and I can catch a spark, but I'm hit and miss on blowing it from an ember to a flame. So far all I've tried is cotton balls as tender, I figured they'd be easiest, but now I'm not so sure. Anyone have any tips?
