Hi all.
I use a flint stick and striker for fire lighting, but the striker has a tendency to rip a layer of skin off my finger if it takes more than a couple of strikes!
Am I better off just using my knife? Or am I missing something with the striker?! It seems a shame not to use the striker at all, I feel the issue must lie with me doing something wrong.
The fire lights, but it's pretty inconvenient having a wound to deal with!
When I next buy one I guess I might have to look for a more elaborate striker!
Does anyone have any advice?
