    Char cloth

    Anyone else play with fire. Made two batches of char cloth today. Denim works best for me.

      Looks cool. But why?
      Not being critical, just wondering if I need some.

        It's some Bush Craft fire making thing. Try it you might like it. Good site on it!

          We used to have our scouts make it and then use it to start their fires at camp outs. neat to know how and play with.

                  Way to do it.
                  Best way to catch a coal.

                    So are you rubbing two sticks together or using a flint? I always wanted to make fire with two sticks. Would love to say I had done it. I guess I need to read into it and see what I need to do.

                      We learned how to do it at a TYHP hunt. Now every time we light a fire we use the char cloth

                        Wait a few months...way to hot to be working that hard this time of year.
                        Ever wonder why Indians were so mean, build a fire with a couple of sticks then go try to get a meal from little walnuts, you'll be in a bad mood too!

                          Never tried denim? I’ll have to try it. Always used my old flannel shirts

                            It's been a long time. I need to dig around and find my flint and steel.

                              I made some from an old cotton work shirt and altoids tin. I will try the denim next time.
