Whups clean forgot to say the 4 bundles of paracord I nabbed from Mesquite a while ago arrived in the UK safe and sound and I collected them last week.

Thanks mate, looks a lot different to the stuff I bought from ebay. no compaints though, this stuff is probably better.

Anyway thanks.

On offer are (I think) two folding fork 'n' knifes from Trekkingnut of the mind-scarring photo fame. :yikes:

Is the cross cut out of the screw? If it is, put a small pinch* of the charred briquette into the center of the cross. You don't need much, but you'll need to have a bit of a play to work out how much provides a usable coal ~ too much and it falls off and too little burns out too quickly.

Edit: * the 'small pinch' needs to stasd proud of the screw head.

ok, i will give it a go. when ive been using it with no tinder inside, there doesnt seem to be any residual heat on the screw after extraction.... is that a problem or is that me just not understanding how it works?

There isn't enough friction to noticibly warm the screw head ~ but there'll be enough to make the tinder catch :D . Are you lubing the shaft? Doing so prevents air escaping :cool: .
