      I've tried these uncharred tinders. no luck. Friends in the UK have had no success either. How about you? any luck with any of the uncharred tinder?

    It makes sense. The flint can't move around and absorb some of the energy of the steel as movement so there is a lot more force available to shave sparks.

    Watching this a few times, I am amazed that I have not yet commented. These are methods that I have employed, except for the last one. They are all great methods. Will try the last method but it appears that I need a chunk of a flint to make it work.

    Well! That is interesting indeed. I suppose #1 would work even if it was a palm-size flake of English flint set on edge? The dogged determination you all displayed in this research project is simply astounding. I'm a firm believer now that a char free fire can be consistently made.

    Nice video, look forward to the new plant info. Didn't see one flint and steel technique that's new to me this year. The drag technique. I did a video on it, I have found it super useful. You may want to look into it. Have a good one brother.

    Great video, thank you very much for the effort you put into it. Have you tried milkweed? It has very similar characteristics to nettle, both being excellent cordage material. I wonder if that's a common tell for tinder too.

    • @wildernessstrong6131
      @wildernessstrong6131  Рік тому

      Good question. We’ve tried milkweed fluff without success, but we’ve heard many times that the ovum from the pod works.

  • @scottrobinson7490
    @scottrobinson7490 Рік тому

    I appreciate it thank you but I also need to know if you need to shape the stone if you need a Flint nap it to have sharp edges and what kind of steel to use? I have a steel bit I cannot get a spark and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I think my stone needs to be napped so it has sharper edges I think

    • @wildernessstrong6131
      @wildernessstrong6131  Рік тому

      Sharp edges definitely make a huge difference. We keep a small striking stone on hand to break off small pieces of dull flint which leaves sharp edges which produce more spark. As far as strikers go we’ve had good success with most of the carbon steel strikers purchased off Amazon.
      Here’s a link to one of the strikers we’ve used quite a bit:

    • @wildernessstrong6131

      We've used a couple different styles, but I believe this is the brand you see in most of our videos: amzn.to/3W0mLVu

    how do you sharp your flint

    • @wildernessstrong6131
      @wildernessstrong6131  Рік тому +1

      We always have a small stone with us for striking to make periodic breaks on the edge of our flint. We do go through quite a bit of rock by doing this, but it's worth it to have sharp edges which produce far more spark.

    it doesn't take many strikes with flint and steel to see sparks go in all directions, does it? people are funny.
