Cramp ball and Silver Birch Barch Tinder

[brumstar123]

I've got a hoard of birch bark rolls and cramp balls from a trip over christmas, couple of fallen ash and birch so i went to town on it!!

Anyone finding it hard to source these tinders locally i've got loads so make me an offer.

Per pack i'd include 10 crampballs and a square roll of 4" birc
For all you conservationists out there, once its gone its gone, i wont be going back out to satisfy any more demand

Birch bark I have and can acquire within a minute's walk of the house, but I'd like some cramp balls

What sort of things would you consider a fair swap ?

cheers,
Toddy

Any thing really, they cost me nothing so anything you wouldn't miss really, any materials for knife making, leahter pouch, webbing straps for tree huggers, carrabiners, dyneema cord, dry bags, stufflike that, not expecting anything much for them, i just don't need five cardboard boxes of cramp balls!!

Just googled cramp balls to see what they were and i'm now gutted to find out that a lil while back working for a tree surgeon we half filled a bin with these from a couple of big (basically dead) Ash trees.
What a waste!
