  • Talking to Ron T. Sawyer about his traveling flint and steel and we decided it would be neat to keep it going and to let people try and learn how to effectively start a fire with traditional flint and steel.
    This box will travel and let people have the opportunity to play with flint and steel to make a fire.

    Grand gesture my friend !! I can't believe I beat Ron T to comment first ..lol I think it's great that people get to try flint &steel fire for the first time. I sent Bill his first set and he always made it a point to mention that fact. He practiced with it and made me proud

      Right on, Ron did a bang up job on that bag too. You going to put your name in the lineup to give it a go? Thank you it was kinda a collaborative idea between Ron and I, he just didn't realize he suggested it lol. Thanks for coming around, when I get a second to youtube-view I am going to check you out, seems you have some videos too?

    This weekend I'll be taking a woods walk with a few friends and their kids. We were planning on playing with some fun outdoors skills. The fire lighting for our BBQ will include flint and steel and Bigfoot.
    Bill; whomsoever you may have been, it seems you were the kind of man I'd have liked to know, guess we'll catch you on the other side. Cheers !
    May all your journeys be adventures and you havens safe.

    Great idea. Paying things forward has always been big in the community and this is just another form of it. What kind of accelerant was that in the brown bottle at 3:37? Awesome idea, Gary. Thank you for sharing your fire with us. Stay safe and stay cool

    • @ConnecticutBackcountry

      Lol, just a bit of Sam Adams summer ale. Just rained here, last night, for the first time in weeks that was the only accelerant needed and it worked perfectly 😆 Have a great weekend!
