someone i know showed me a method of fire lighting the other day which is exellent, take some hessian sacking cut into squares about an inch to inch and a half long ,then taking one thread tease the end finely into a ball of fluff with the individual fibres so you have in effect a piece of hessian shaped like a normal match then strike the head of it with a fire steel and you have a match and away you go ,, hessian also dries out well too ,doesnt rattle , takes up less space , yes you could use a fire steel to light all sorts of stuff, but its another method to share which i`ll add i didnt until i spoke to him first :respekt: , cheers al
