Hi this is my first time on this forum, your THREAD instead of POST got me foxed for a while! There is a new book available, Primitive Fire Lighting- Flint and Steel By Keith H. Burgess. This book is written in Australia, but Keith is English, ex Bognor Regis, West Sussex. This book covers the UK, Europe, America & Australia. There is information on tinder plants(No "charcloth" here!) and tinder preparation, wet weather fire lighting. reading glass fire lighting and much more. All information from the Author's own research and experimental archaeology. This book is 17thc.-18thc. based, but of course this skill goes way back in time. This is a "Long term Survival" method, and with this knowledge you will never be without fire. You can find the book index and purchase details on this blog: http://woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com Regards to all, Le Loup.
