    The Great Storm of `87

    I was on exersize in Germany at the time, we had about three days of solid rain stuck in a forest but as far as I remember no wind at all but so muddy and wet it was like the Somme. Someone managed to phone home and got told about the storms, we, and our kit were just very wet.

    Birch bark tinder ?

    Get some downy seeds such as thistle or reedmace(bullrush), Thistle being the best in my experience, think anything like a dandelion(would work but too time consuming to collect enough) and use a handful of this fluff to catch the spark. The flame doesnt last long so you will need birch bark...
