I've been meaning to do this for some time but only yesterday found the time to make them up!
I wanted to do something for all you lovely peeps out there and to do my bit for the goodwill I have received. Rather than dig out kit I no longer want I made 6 of these.......
What are they you may ask!? - well in esence they are charcloth in a convenient transportable holder.
To use you push up the burnt end out of the 'tube' and then light with a spark (I have tested them with fero rod and good ol flint and steel and they work a treat!) then you just blow gently to create a larger ember then use this to transfer to your tinder.
To extinguish you just gently pull the glowing tip back into the tube and then cover the end (I use my finger but it can be a tad warm so I suggest you use a leaf, bit of bark etc) the delicate charred end is then protected till the next time you need to use it.
So....... first 6 to pm me their address gets one in the mail
