I recently recieved in the post my shiny (well not really) flint and steel set (Swedish Forged Strike a Light). While waiting for it to arrive I envisioned the huge fires I would light.
So shortly after it arrived and several slaps from the reality stick later, I've come to realise it's just not that easy
So can anyone help with any hints/tips on how to get the best sparks from a flint and steel?
I've managed lots of tiny ones which seem to fly everywhere but onto the tinder (amadou) that came with the kit.
Thanks in advance
