I haven't been out properly for months as it's been such a shock to the system having a job so I went out tonight to try out the fire steel my dad got me for christmas and for a bit of a cook up, a brew and a biscuit.
Wasn't sure what to use as tinder so I made some pine shavings and used my frying pan to catch them.
I put them on a big piece of birch bark and got them ignited after about ten strikes of my ferro rod
Decided to try a star fire as I've heard they're good for cooking on and don't use much wood
Beans took a little longer than usual but considering how little wood I used I'd definitely use this type of fire again.
Supper
Hot choccy and biscuits for dessert, ready just as darkness fell.
