Small boy and firesteel

[AndyR]

So my small boy (9yrs) has just sucessfully lit his first campfire with a fire steel. Look out Ray Mears, he's coming for ya!

Brilliant

The first Scottish Meet, a while ago now saw young Ross (Doc's son) given a firesteel to learn to use. I can still hear Graham_S saying, "Ross, that won't burn.....well, y'know ???", as the boy managed to wear the steel into a banana shape in a couple of days. Amazing the things that he did get to burn

Bet you're praying it's going to pour tonight

cheers,
