After the sucess of my first batch I've made another 1/2 doz up and this time i'm making them available to the 'evening croud' (to share the love to those that don't sneek a look while at work! )
Also as you have seen they have now been named CHARTUBE'S
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.
I have promised Biddlesby (who missed out on round 1) first place in the que .........
.... So....... the next 5 to pm me their address gets one in the mail
