First flint and steel fire

[ScottE]

Received my flint and steel set this morning from milius2 on here.....no more excuse needed to get down the woods !
Some slightly damp bracken made up my tinder bundle.....first attempt and fire !
Pretty chuffed, beautiful steel.

Andy's sets are very good. Well done on your first fire with your flint and steel.

Ah - my favourite way of starting a fire
Nice looking steel as well!

Well done, its such a nice buzz mastering your first flint & steel fire, I have one of Andy's fire steels and they are top notch.

Well done. It's a superb feeling and you sometimes wonder why it took so long in your life to achieve it! So many people have just never even trie flint and steel.

And, those flint and steel sets are superb. I have the same one and used it so many times

Goodjob once you've got the knack it's a great reliable way of getting your fire going, good for you

WOW, that's a PRO fire you lit there! I like the way you stacked it up, I always lack the patience to go the right way and then it takes longer to get a good fire going. But I'm still happy as a child when I manage to ignite charcloth the first strike, makes me go Whooohoooo! Anyway, the most credit goes to all of you who bought the steels from me and gave feedback on the performance thus making them what they are now. Thanks and let's have more fire lit the proper way!

Well done. Nice to experience another method of lighting a fire.
One step closer to understanding the lives of those that came before.

Great stuff - seriously satisfying the first time you manage it.

Lovely fire lay by the way.
