Coghlan's tinder kit with flint match - 12/29/05 07:26 PM
I bought a Coghlan's Tinder Kit with a flint match and 8 pieces of waxed tinder pads. In the instructions there is nothing about the use of the match except to be used as a producer of sparks. This metal match screws on a little box with a very thin ferroceous rod on the side. The metal match has a striker and a little wad above it and screws on the box with a sealing o-ring. I fill the little box with lighter fluid and then the match pad will light when striking the ferroceous rod. I think thats the correct way to use it but the instruction not even mention that. Does anybody have any experience with this kit?.
