Handy looking kit Pitman,nice pics.Good looking dogs too.The pic of Terror is especially nice,like he/she(?)was posing,good timing.
The char cloth I haven't heard of.Cotton I assume.Is it all charred,or is some left uncharred.Also what are the tube bands for,burning?And what type of fungus is in the kit?Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Cheers buddy,
Terror (real name Snicker)is very much a girl unlike Maisy who is a girl but acts like a boy if ya know what I mean, LOL !
Yeah Char cloth is cotton that has been charred so due to it being partially burned it takes a spark straight away. It is often used with traditional flint and steels !
The tube bands are sections of regular bicycle inner tube, this will burn even when wet and also burns long enough to get any other tinder ya have going as well.
The Fungus is called Tinder fungus and is a type of bracket fungi that has been dried. I have still yet to use this stuff but from what I understand it will smoulder for a very long time and can be blown back into a hot ember when you stop. It is therefore a fire that you can carry with you !!!
