I was out this afternoon and decided to make a brew. So out comes my flint, fires now burning well. Then it dawned on me. In my kit I both a modern flint & steel and the more traditional Iron Pyrite & Alibates, but I now tend to use the more modern method.
So my question is, am I becoming lazy, or is this now a natural progression for a primitive method relying upon modern technology to carry it into the future?
Does anyone else find that they have both primitive equipment, but tend to use the modern kit first, and if so why?
