Thanks for your help folk :)

I'm after some advice from you good people if I may. :) My other half bought me a primitive firelighting kit for Christmas (e.g. several lumps of flint, a curly-ended steel all trussed up in a very lovely reindeer leather pouch). Once my initial excitement had abated, I spent the latter half...
